It's been a while since I've posted, and I have a myriad of lame excuses so we can skip them for now. Basically, life is grand and I'm happy to finally have time to share recipes I've been stock piling for some time!
This recipe was recommended by a friend and to be honest it was more like a command than a recommendation. Each time we spoke after she shared the recipe she'd ask if I'd made the recipe, and at the time I was thinking, I'll get to it! Yeesh! It's a bar recipe, no big deal. Ha. No big deal? More like stop everything you're doing and make this bar right now deal.
Original recipe here.
Makes 30ish bars (depends how generous you're cuts are)
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2 pieces
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Filling:
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup golden corn syrup
- 3/4 sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 package large chocolate chips/chunks (just shy of 2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cup pecan halves
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9x13" pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Blend the flour, butter and sugar in a medium bowl with a pastry cutter or forks, until you have a crumbly mixture. Press it into the prepare pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Beat the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and vanilla until combined, then stir in the chocolate and pecans. Pour the filling over the crust, then bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then use the overhang of the parchment to lift the bars out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars and eat your heart out.
