Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until the texture resembles damp sand.
2. Press the crust mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
3. In a saucepan over low heat, stir brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter until smooth and glossy, then remove from heat.
4. Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and chopped pecans until the nuts are evenly coated.
5. Pour the pecan mixture over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is firm.
7. Drizzle caramel sauce over the set bars and sprinkle with sea salt flakes if desired.
8. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water to slice into bars and serve chilled.
