How to Make Lite Chocolate Pecan Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup pecan halves and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- Let cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
