    1/3 cup packed brown sugar
    2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup butter or margarine
    1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

    -- Filling --
    2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
    1/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
    1/4 cup butter or margarine
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup Kahlua liqueur
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    -- Frosting --
    2 Tbsp butter or margarine softened
    1 Tbsp Kahlua liqueur
    2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1 Tbsp milk or cream

    Recipe

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan with parchment, letting two opposite ends hang slightly over sides of pan. For crust: In large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, butter and pecans; mix well. Pat into bottom of prepared pan.

    For filling: In saucepan, melt chocolate, shortening and butter. Remove from heat; stir until smooth and slightly cooled. Beat in sugars and vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in Kahlua, flour and salt. Add pecans. Pour over crust. Bake for 25 minutes or until fudgy. Do not overbake. Cool.

    For frosting: Beat together butter, Kahlua, confectioners' sugar and milk. Add more Kahlua, if necessary, to achieve a spreading consistency. Frost cooled cake (either in the pan or lifted out by the parchment paper "handles"). Let frosting set; slice into bars. Refrigerate. Makes about 30 bars.
