Step 2

Beat white sugar, butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and pinch of salt together in a bowl until smooth; add flour and stir until dough forms. Press dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool crust completely.
Step 4

Whisk brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, remaining vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl; add pecans and stir to combine. Pour brown sugar mixture over cooled crust.
Step 5

Bake in the oven until golden brown and filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature; cut into 36 bars. Place bars in refrigerator until cold, about 1 hour.
Step 6

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Set cold bars on waxed paper and drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

The first time I made these I didn't have Choclate Chips... But I made them anywy... They were fabulous... I took them to work and they were gone in minutes... The second time I made them (because the office requested them again)I made sure that I had the chocolate to drizzle on... and they were SPECTAULAR! They went in seconds... These were easy to make and fun to do... You have to try these... Read More

Really great recipe. Very yummy. The only thing I think the filling needed was a pinch more salt and since they were very thin I would personally prefer to make 1.5x the filling ingredients next time. Read More

Someone suggested doing the recipe by 1.5 because they were too thin. I used an 8x11 pan and it was perfect. I do think 9x13 would make them very thin. I drizzled with caramel and chocolate. They were fabulous Read More

Followed the recipe according to ingredients ans cooking instructions. The only change I made was spreading the chocolate over the top rather than drizzling. Read More

I have made these twice in the last two weeks because everyone loved them so much and they are so easy to make. I also used an 8x11 pan so they would be thicker I just had to add extra baking time to the crust and the filling. The crust dough seems very dry and crumbly but it presses perfectly into the pan. Also I use mini chocolate chips (a heaping half cup) and put them in a ziploc bag and place in a bowl of very hot tap water for some time to melt them and then just make a very small cut in the corner of the bag to drizzle. I can't believe this recipe does not have more reviews. Read More

These are absolutely delicious! I followed the advice of other reviewers and used an 8 x 11" dish. They turned out perfect and were the first thing to disappear off the desert table during our neighborhood potluck dinner. I will definately be adding them to my Christmas cookie trays! Read More
