Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, flour, and salt until evenly blended and crumbly.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the pecan and chocolate mixture over the partially baked crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours, to allow the filling to set.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy your indulgent Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars!
