ooo, that's sounds like a "yum", damsel, I must try these.
since I'm in a nutty mood, here's one I like:
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Bars
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar, divided
1 cup butter, softened
½ tsp salt
1 ¼ cups light corn syrup
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
¼ cup bourbon
4 eggs, beaten
1 ½ tsp vanilla
3 cups pecans, chopped
Heat oven to 350°. Grease bottom & sides of 9"-by-13" baking dish. In
a large mixing bowl, beat flour, ½ cup sugar, butter & salt at medium
speed until mixture resembles course crumbs. Press firmly & evenly
into pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 3 qt saucepan, stir corn syrup and chocolate over low
heat until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Stir in bourbon,
remaining sugar, eggs, and vanilla until blended. Stir in pecans. Pour
over crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until filling is
firm around the edges. Cool before cutting. Makes 24 bars.
