Carol - would this be close at all???

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
4 large eggs
2-1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl; cut in 3/4 cup butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles very fine crumbs. Press mixture into a greased 13 x 9-inch pan, using plastic wrap to press crumb mixture firmly in pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 17 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently. Remove from heat. Stir 1/4 of hot mixture into beaten eggs; add to remaining hot mixture. Stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour filling over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until set. Cool completely, then cut into bars.


or:

Crust Ingredients:
1 cup Butter -- melted
1 cup Light brown sugar
2 cups Flour


Filling Ingredients:
4 Eggs -- slightly beaten
2 cups Pecans -- chopped
1/4 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
3 cups Dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1 can Coconut
Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mix the butter, 2 cups flour and light brown sugar. Spread evenly in a 9x13" pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Lower the oven temperature to 325ºF. Mix the filling ingredients together, except the powdered sugar. Spread over the crust. Bake for 40 minutes until the mixture is firm. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar while it is still warm. Cool . Cut into 48 squares. Freezes well.

Let me know if these are close at all - I've got more.
