Preheat oven to 350慚.

Empty contents of jar into medium bowl. Stir in:

1/2 C. (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Press into an 8−inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 18 to

20 minutes, or until bars are light golden brown and center is almost set. Makes 16

bars.

*To toast pecans, place in a microwave−safe dish and microwave on HIGH for 4 to

5 minutes, stirring every minute.

**After measuring the brown sugar, crumble it between your fingers for uniform

texture. Be sure to pack the brown sugar firmly in the jar to prevent the baking mix

from sifting down through it.
