Chunky Pecan Bars Recipe

Most people can’t stop with just one of these additive, rich, luscious bars. They taste just like chocolate pecan pie.

Ingredients: (Yield: about 6 dozen)

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed

FILLING:

  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups semisweet chocolate chunks
  • 1½ cups coarsely chopped pecans

Method:

In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350º for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter and vanilla until blended. Stir in chocolate chunks and pecans. Pour over crust.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bars are set. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
