Ingredients

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp bourbon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

For the Shortbread Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the inner edges with butter
  • In a food processor, add shortbread cookies, popcorn, and salt. Chop until coarse crumbs. Add in butter and chopped together until it resembles a coarse almost paste texture.
  • Press mixture evenly and firmly onto the bottom of your pan (make sure the crust is packed tightly and evenly so you won’t have to deal with a possible seeping situation later).

For the Bourbon Pecan Pie Topping:

  • Put all ingredients in a large bowl except the pecans. Whisk until thoroughly combined then fold in pecans.
  • Transfer into your prepared crust and bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted close to the edge comes out with minimal dry crumbs. Cool in the pan before slicing into bars. Enjoy!
