Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

This is a Kraft recipe and by far my most requested recipe. I am here to tell you that not everything you make needs to be cute. Some of the best desserts I've ever had have not been camera worthy, so don't judge this recipe by the picture.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

1 cup  butter, softened

2 cups  flour

2 cups  sugar, divided

1/4 tsp.  salt

1-1/2 cups  light corn syrup

8 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided

4 eggs at room temperature

2 tsp.  vanilla

2-1/2 cups  chopped pecans

 

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Beat butter, flour, 1/2 cup sugar and salt with mixer until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press onto bottom of 15x10x1-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 20 min. or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, microwave corn syrup and 6 oz. chocolate in large microwaveable bowl for 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1-1/2 min.; stir until completely melted. Add remaining sugar, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Stir in nuts.
Pour chocolate mixture over warm crust; spread to evenly cover crust. Bake 35 min. or until filling is firm around edges but still slightly soft in center. Cool completely.
Melt remaining chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over dessert. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
