Gluten-free Pecan Pie Bars

"These gluten-free pecan bars have everything I love about traditional pecan pie, from the rich caramel filling to the crunchy toasted pecans, but with a buttery shortbread crust instead of pie dough. Dark corn syrup gives the filling a deeper flavor, and the crust gets a quick bake before the filling goes on to keep it from getting soggy. I originally tested this recipe with a traditional pie crust, similar to the one I use for my GF apple slab pie. But rolling out gluten-free pie dough was more work than I wanted for a batch of dessert bars. So I went back to my favorite shortbread crust, the one I use in my gluten-free samoas, and paired it with the filling from what I think is the BEST gluten-free pecan pie. "
