Internet


List of Ingredients




1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
8 squares semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, at least 2 minutes. Or beat with a woodenspoon. Press into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with pecans, then gently pat into crust.

2. In a small saucepan, combine remaining 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil, about 3 minutes. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour over crust. Bake in centre of oven until topping is bubbly, from 18 to 22 minutes.

3. Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle with chocolate right away. Return to oven until chocolate starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Remove to a rack and immediately spread chocolate over top.

4. Cool, then cut into bars. Store in an airtight container with layers separated by sheets of waxed paper. Bars will keep well in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks. These do not freeze well.

Makes about 36 bars
