Yield makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
14 tablespoons salted butter (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) at room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 large Eggland's Best eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 cup chopped pecans for inside the bar
1 cup chopped pecans for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9- by 13-inch pan.
  • In a large bowl or mixer, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and water, and mix.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and soda. Add flour mixture to butter and egg mixture. Mix just enough to make sure ingredients are well combined, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  • Spread dough evenly in greased baking pan, smoothing the surface with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle additional 1 cup pecans on top and gently press into dough enough so that they do not move when the pan moves.

When the bars are done, the edges will be very lightly browned. Cool on a rack. Cut with a sharp knife when cool six lengthwise and four across to get 24 bars. Store in an airtight container.
  • Tips
  • Replace vanilla with natural maple flavor.

CHOCOLATE PECAN BARS



Chocolate Pecan Bars image

There is a very famous pie named after a very famous horse race that shall remain nameless. It combines pecan pie with chocolate chips and a splash of Bourbon (because it was invented in Kentucky and if it will sit still we will throw Bourbon in it in this state). My brother Donnie has always loved chocolate chip pecan pie, and I have been trying for years to improve on the classic. Made into bar form, this dessert becomes the perfect treat for your Derby Party or Holiday potluck. You can leave out the Bourbon if you feel so inclined, but I love the way the smoky, spicy flavor pairs with the orange. These little babies also keep really well, making them a staple in my Christmas cookie exchange basket.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 to 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
12 tablespoons (170 grams) cold unsalted butter, diced
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 2/3 cups (165 grams) pecans
1 cup (240 milliliters) honey
2/3 cup (145 grams) packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Bourbon
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • For the crust: Adjust the oven rack to the bottom position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33 centimeter) baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the edges of the pan by a few inches on two sides (this will help you lift the bars out of the pan).
  • In a food processor, pulse together the butter, flour, salt and sugar until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to pull from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, gather together, and pat into a rectangle. Roll the dough into a rectangle 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick that measures about 13 by 15 inches (33 by 38 centimeters). Trim the rough edges and ease the dough into the prepared pan, pressing it onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides (trim the dough more on the sides as needed). Prick the dough a couple times with a fork. Cover with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the dough starts to set up, about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and continue to bake until the crust is just golden, about 5 minutes more. Let cool completely.
  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Spread the pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then roughly chop.
  • Beat the honey and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the eggs. Add in the melted butter and continue to beat. Add the flour, Bourbon, orange zest and vanilla. Sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips over the crust and pour the honey mixture over the top. Bake until the top of the filling is golden brown and the center sets up, 30 to 40 minutes. Cover and put in the refrigerator until cool. When ready to serve, cut into 12 to 24 bars.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the bars.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the bars. They should be slightly gooey in the center.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Chocolate Chip Pecan Meringue Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed.
