Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars Recipe

I printed out the recipe for these bars way back in 2001 and had it filed in my old wooden recipe box all these years. It called for 1 and 3/4 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chunks but I changed it to 1 cup of chocolate chips. I've never made them before but yesterday was the day! Since I had pecans and chocolate chips on hand, I thought it was finally time to make them - better late than never! Also the cold and dreary weather makes me want to bake. If you like pecans and chocolate you'll probably like these!

My husband and son loved these bars quite a lot! They are quick to prepare and take so much less time than baking cookies.
