Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13×9 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar and salt. Add in the cubed butter, and pulse until pie crust that develops looks like large wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the jelly roll pan, and up the sides to create a crust. Using a fork, poke several holes into the pie crust base to reduce puffing of the crust.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until it just begins to turn slightly golden brown. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Spread the Nutella over the bottom of the pie crust, allowing the heat of the pie crust to melt the Nutella slightly and make it easier to spread.
- In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, corn syrup, and remaining 1/2 cup of butter to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Gently pour the whole mixture into the pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes until the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
