Recipe Introduction


Posted by: HDMac********Posted by LuAnn for CNC. Source: Southern Living magazine, Sept. 2004.
This was my FAVORITE cookie find of 2004! I gave them a “5+” on my rating scale of 1 – 5! The delectable browned butter flavor remind me of my very favorite See’s CANDY selection – “Butterscotch Squares.”



List of Ingredients




Makes about 7 dozen (1 1/4-inch squares)
While the bars bake, begin making the rich, nutty icing.
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels, divided (I used at least half milk chocolate - LuAnn)

Praline Fudge Icing
2 tablespoons milk

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in flour and pecans. Press dough evenly into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until brown around the edges and bars pull away from sides of pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups chocolate morsels evenly over warm bars. Pour warm Praline Fudge Icing over chocolate morsels; spreading to edges with a spatula.
Microwave remaining 1/2 cup chocolate morsels and milk in a small bowl at HIGH 20 to 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over bars. Cool completely. Cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
