How to Make Rum Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Step-by-Step

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13” x 9” baking pan.
2Crust
Combine crust ingredients with a pastry blender (or two forks) until crumbly. Press into pan. Bake crust for 15 to 17 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
3Filling
Whisk brown sugar, eggs, corn syrup, rum, butter, vanilla extract and salt until well blended.
4Sprinkle pecans and chips evenly over the crust. Carefully pour sugar mixture over pecans and chocolate chips.
5Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until edges are set and bars are golden brown. Center will still be “wiggly”.

Cool and cut into bars.
