Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars

If you love pecan pie and you love chocolate, then wait until you try these chocolate chip pecan pie bars! Pecan pie is really a thing of beauty.  One of those indulgences that you don’t have often, and savor when you do. It is so rich and decadent and over the top in the very best way.  Because it is so rich, I love making it in bar form, where you can cut the bars into little bite size pieces.

Pecan Pie Bars

Oh, and I like to throw chocolate chips in, because, well, chocolate chips make everything even more amazing.   So Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars are where it’s at my friends.

Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars
As much I love pecans, I don’t bake with them off due to my daughter’s tree nut allergy.  Luckily she has never had a reaction from being around nuts (only from ingesting them) so while we can have them in the house, I always feel a little guilty making some delicious dessert that she can’t have.  Given she is away on an amazing school field trip for a few days, it’s time for me to get my nut filled baking in.

Pecan Pie Bars With Chocolate Chips

Well that and I need something comforting to eat while I’m crying over her growing up so fast and going away on big school field trips out of state without her mother.  I think can worry and miss her more effectively while eating dessert.  Because that’s what moms do.  Worry, while being happy for the exciting adventures our kiddos have.  Without us.  Wahhhhhh!!!!   So, yeah, chocolate is needed…  Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars anyone?

      Blue, pecan pie is pretty much the only recipe I use corn syrup in. I’m not sure of any other way to make pecan pie – I’m sure there are some out there, but all of the recipes I’ve ever used have included corn syrup.

        I used to make amazing pecan pie tartlets which used no corn syrup–only brown sugar butter and eggs. I can’t find the recipe but here’s one that sounds like it–no corn syrup.

    I made these last night for a dinner party and they were delicious! Everyone loved them and kept going back for seconds. I love that I didn’t have to chop the pecans too! I used 1/2 cup sugar in the filling and I only had light corn syrup so I used that. They were the right amount of sweetness and not too sweet like some pecan pies. And the chocolate chips were such a good addition! They were easy to make too, since I used the same bowl for the crush and the filling. I will definitely be making these again.!

    I do not own a food processor or a pastry cutter. So I cut the butter into the flour the old fashioned way – with two knives.
