Chocolate Pecan Bars

Nothing beats a super easy recipe that is a real Do Again! Gourmet Man loves pecan pie and chocolate, so how could this fail?

2 c. All purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
2/3 c. Butter, melted
2 c. Dark Brown Sugar (not the light kind, only dark!)
2 eggs
1 T. Real Vanilla Extract
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1 cup Pecan pieces

1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
3. In a separate bowl combine sugar and melted butter.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla to the sugar butter mixture.
5. Mix in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until combined, but do not over mix!
6. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
7. Spread batter in a greased 9x13 inch pan.
8. Bake for 25-27 minutes until the top is lightly brown. DO NOT DO A TOOTHPICK TEST! It will be gooey. It is supposed to be! The outside is crisp and the inside is just like a pecan pie.

Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy:)
