Zubereitung von Butter Pecan Squares
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup of the milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of milk chocolate chips over the warm batter.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes, allowing the chocolate chips to soften slightly.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly across the surface using a spatula or knife.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans over the top and gently press them into the chocolate.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This allows the bars to set properly.
- Once completely cool, cut into squares and enjoy your delicious homemade Butter Pecan Squares!
