Recipe tips and substitution ideas:


  • These bars need time to chill so they can set. Make sure to keep that in mind when planning your menu.
  • If you want to go extra heavenly, serve with some ice cream or whipped cream on top!
  • Try almond extract instead of vanilla, or another kind of nut instead of pecan.

  11. Allow the cheesecake to cool slightly.
  12. For the topping, in a medium sauce pan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, butter, and salt.
  13. Heat over medium heat, until boiling, and boil for 2-3 minutes.
  14. Add the vanilla extract and pecans, and stir.
  15. Allow this mixture to cool slightly, and then drop by spoonfuls over the cheesecake. Smooth out evenly.
  16. Allow the entire cheesecake to cool completely, and then chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or over night.
  17. Cut and serve!
