How to Make Pecan Squares With Dipped Chocolate Ganache
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 2 cups pecan halves.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the ganache: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled pecan bars and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before cutting into squares.
