For an even richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color and has a fragrant aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Alternatively, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
