1 tbsp cornstarch
1 pinch of salt
Filling:
8 ounces roasted salted pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray and set aside.
- Crust: In a large bowl, combine all crust ingredients and using a fork or your hands, cut butter into dry ingredients until evenly distributed and pea-sized lumps and sandy bits form. The softer the butter is, the quicker and easier it is.
- Put mixture into the prepared pan and flatten to form a thin layer on the bottom.
- Filling: Evenly sprinkle the pecans.
- Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips and set pan aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, whipping cream, and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt.
- Remove bowl from microwave, and whisk until mixture is smooth.
- Return bowl to microwave and heat for 1 minute on high power.
- Remove bowl from microwave, and whisk until mixture is smooth.
- Whisk in the vanilla and salt.
- Slowly and evenly pour the caramel sauce over the chocolate chips and pecans.
- Place pan on a cookie sheet and bake for about 30 to 32 minutes, or until caramel is bubbling vigorously around edges. Allow bars to cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 3 hours, or overnight (cover with a piece of foil and/or put pan inside large Ziplock), before slicing and serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months!
