Julienne'S Graham Cracker Chewy Bars

• Crust
• 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour
• Topping and assembly
• 2 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 4 extra-large eggs
• 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• powdered sugar, if desired

1. Crust:.
2. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and flour until moist and well-blended. Press the mixture firmly and evenly over the bottom of a 13-inch by 9-inch baking pan. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Topping and assembly:.
4. While the crust is baking, in a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs to blend. Whisk in the graham cracker crumbs, vanilla, salt and baking powder until well-blended. Stir in the pecans.
5. Spread the mixture over the baked crust and return to the 350-degree oven until the filling is dark-golden on top and jiggles slightly when tapped, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and cool completely.
6. Sprinkle a light coating of sifted powdered sugar over the pan if desired, and cut into 24 bars. The bars can be made 1 day in advance. Wrap in plastic and keep at room temperature.
