Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large egg
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it into an even layer to form the crust. Use your hands or the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Step 5
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips into the filling mixture.
Step 8
Pour the filling over the slightly cooled crust, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Step 9
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
Step 10
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 11
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares or preferred sizes and serve.
