Pecan Bars

OK - these are amazing. Seriously, candy! My daughter loves baking and she's terrific! She made these and the pan was nearly CLEANED OUT by the end of the night!

Pecan Bars

1-1/2 cups flour

1-1/2 cup brown sugar, packed & divided

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup pecans

2/3 cup butter

1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter - beat 2-3 minutes.

Pat into ungreased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with nuts.

In a saucepan, combine 2/3 cup butter & remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cook until bubbly & stir one more minute.

Pour over crust & spread.

Bake 18-20 minutes until surface is bubbly.

Remove from oven & spread with chocolate chips. Let stand 2-3 minutes & then spread. Cook & cut. With the heat, we ended up putting the pan in the fridge to firm up the chocolate :)

ENJOY!
