1/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

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.
