Preparation

Step 1

Instructions:
Combine the butter, brown sugar and flour in a food processor. Pulse until butter is small pea sized.
Add the coconut and give the food processor another whirl.
Press into a greased 9" x 13" pan until it's evenly distributed, set aside.
In a sauce pan place the butter, salt, brown sugar and the light corn. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
Add the chopped pecans & vanilla extract. Stir until blended.
Add the slightly beaten eggs. Blend well with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Pour pecan filling over the unbaked crust.
Place in a preheated 350 degrees F oven. Bake until golden brown and the center does not jiggle, approximately 35 - 40 mins.
It's important to cool completely before cutting into pieces.
