What You Need

cup (2 sticks) butter, softened, divided

cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided

egg yolk

1-1/2

cups flour

1/4

tsp. salt

1/2

cup light corn syrup

1/4

cup whipping cream

tsp. vanilla

pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped

cup PLANTERS Chopped Pecans, toasted

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Lightly grease foil; set aside. Beat 3/4 cup each of the butter and brown sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Blend in egg yolk. Add flour and salt; mix well. Place in prepared pan; press firmly onto bottom to form crust. Bake 16 to 18 min. or until golden brown.

MEANWHILE, place remaining 1/4 cup each butter and brown sugar, the corn syrup, whipping cream and vanilla in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 4 min., stirring every 2 min.; set aside. Cool crust slightly on wire rack. Spread butter mixture evenly over crust.

BAKE an additional 18 to 20 min. or until set. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Continue baking 1 to 2 min. or until chocolate is melted; spread chocolate evenly over dessert. Sprinkle with pecans. Cool completely. Refrigerate 30 min. or until chocolate is firm. Remove dessert from pan, using foil handles. Cut into 36 bars or diamond shapes. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.

I made this easily, and it was a hit at our get-together!! Really good for taking to events as easy to transport once cold.

I gave it a 3 because it was such a mess to make and took almost 2 hours from start to finish. It tastes very close to the chocolate toffee bits you can buy at the store. I liked this receipe, but its not my favorite.

These were SO rich, they tasted like candy and my whole family loved them! One tip though - don't refrigerate before cutting them into bars, they get too hard. Just let them set on the counter or in a cool place, cut and THEN refrigerate! :-)

VERY good! They are a little hard when they first come out of the fridge (wouldn't recommend them until they softened!) - VERY VERY yummy! Everyone who ate them, LOVED them!!!

Very tasty! A little putsy if in a hurry, but worth the effort when time allows.

These are fabulous - taste like they came from an upscale bakery where they would charge $3.00 a square. Be sure to use butter and not a spread. I used more nuts and be sure to take the time to toast them.

As long as it took to prep, cook and cool down -- I would not do this one again. It had an ok taste, but I've had MUCH better from Kraft (i.e., Layered Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bars) YUMMY

I thought that the crust, and the upper part was very hard to make. I thought that chopping the chocolate squares was very hard also. The whole bar was very hard to eat. I would NOT make this recipe EVER AGAIN. carguynjl 12/16/2004
