These chocolate pecan bars are perfect for a snack or dessert. They are easy to make and packed with nutrients. The nuts are full of good fats, as is the chocolate; this helps boost the production of endorphins that make you feel better. Give them a try.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking pan. Mix the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, the butter, and the salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden.
Add the corn syrup and chocolate to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Stir in 1-1/2 cups of sugar, the eggs, and the vanilla until well combined. Add the pecans and stir. Spread the filling evenly over the warm crust.
Bake for an additional 35 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
