How to Make Chunky Pecan Pie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- **Make the Crust:**
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- **Make the Filling:**
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Stir in 2 cups pecan halves and 1 cup chocolate chunks.
- Pour the filling evenly over the baked crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
