Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
Indulge in this Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars recipe! Chewy, gooey, and easier than pie, with a buttery crust, rich chocolate, and crunchy pecans.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups pecans coarsely chopped (I recommend the Diamond of California Pecan Halves, and give them a rough chop.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
- Tip: If you turn the baking pan over and fold the aluminum foil over the outside of the pan first, it will nicely go right into place without a lot of creases.
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mier to beat 1 stick of room temperature butter, brown sugar, flour, and salt until coars crumbs form. Pour mixture into prepared pan; press firmly into the bottom.
- Bake until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Spread over the crust.
- Bake until set, 25 - 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan before lifting out (use foil to lift). Cut into 16 bars.
