Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Ingredients

Crust

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup of white sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup unsalted butter, cold cut into small pieces
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Filling

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole pecans
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9�13 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the crust: In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and butter. Using the backs of two forks cut in the butter until the mixture looks like a crumbly mess. Pour the mixture in the pan and press in firmly.
3. Make the filling: Witha wire whisk mix the eggs, corn syrup and sugars until smooth. Pour the filling onto the crust.
4. Top it: Sprinkle the filling with the pecans and chocolate chips (the more chocolate chips the better)
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center sets. Let cool completely before cutting with a serrated knife.
