Make It

HEAT oven to 350ºF.

MEANWHILE, microwave corn syrup and 6 oz. chocolate in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1-1/2 min.; stir until completely melted. Add remaining sugar, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Stir in nuts.

MELT remaining chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over dessert. Let stand until chocolate is firm.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Easy Cleanup

Line pan with foil with ends extending over sides; spray with cooking spray, then use as directed. Lift cooled dessert from pan with foil handles before cutting dessert into bars. Not only are the bars easier to cut, but cleanup is also a snap!

Use Your Stove

Prepare and bake crust as directed. Cook corn syrup and chocolate in large saucepan on very low heat just until chocolate is melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Continue as directed.

This was excellent! Just for personal preference, I used half brown and half white sugar in the crust, but otherwise followed the recipe as directed. A 9x13 pan works fine and the foil lining suggestion made cutting and cleanup very easy.

Pretty good. The base needs a little something.

Would have benefited from baking about 5 minutes less. Still tasted great but a bit chewy from over-cooking.

I followed this recipe to the letter. It was impossible to get out of the pan. I had a mess. Yes, I did use cooking spray in the pan, which I really didn't need. This is the one and only recipe from Kraft that I have made that I would never make again. I was really disappointed.

I am known for my desserts and this was no exception. It received rave reviews from all who ate one. I will definitely make this again!

I have been making kraft recipes for two years now and all of them have been excellent - never had a flop. Unfortunately, this recipe was a disaster. The bottom layer is too thin and crumbly. The top layer is pure sugar - even after I halved the amount of corn syrup. It doesn't have any taste, just sugar. The only thing I'm happy about is that I used the foil suggestion to line the pan. A waste of good pecans and chocolate.

These bars are wonderful! I left off the melted chocolate on top -- the bars are perfect without it. Very decadent but pretty easy to make. I did find I had to add more flour to the crust to make it less sticky (extra 2/3 c), but otherwise, they are totally awesome!

Just okay, not good. They stuck to the pan and were difficult to get out without mangling them. Didn't like the balance of chocolate to pecans. Not worth the calories.
