CHEWY CARAMEL PECAN BARS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and butter and flour a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan, knocking out excess.
- Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 tablespoon vanilla and eggs. Sift in flour with salt and baking powder and beat until just blended.
- Spoon batter into pan, spreading it evenly, and bake in middle of oven until it pulls away slightly from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with crumbs adhering, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool base completely in pan on a rack.
- Bring granulated sugar, corn syrup, a pinch of salt, and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Continue to boil mixture, without stirring, until it turns a golden caramel. Remove pan from heat and carefully add cream and remaining 1/2 tablespoon vanilla (mixture will bubble up and steam). Return pan to moderate heat and cook, stirring until smooth. Stir in pecans and immediately pour mixture over base, tilting baking pan and spreading evenly.
- Cool mixture completely in pan on rack and cut into bars.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving 2 inches of overhang to use as handles to remove the bars at the end of baking.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Cream together the butter and light-brown sugar, using a hand mixer, in a separate, large bowl, until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually pour in the dry mixture, and beat until the dough looks like coarse, pea-sized lumps. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball, then transfer it to your prepared baking pan and press down evenly to fill the pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- To make the filling: Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, bourbon, vanilla, salt, eggs, pecans, and chocolate chips in a large bowl. Remove the hot half-baked dough from the oven, and spread the filling over the crust. Return the pan to the oven, and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the top is puffed and brown and cracks begin to form (like a pecan-pie topping). Let cool for 45 minutes before slicing into squares.
Tips:
- Use a combination of light and dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the bars for a deeper flavor.
- Press the dough firmly into the pan to prevent it from crumbling.
- Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Conclusion:
These chewy cranberry pecan bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and texture, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
