    Another First Time Recipe…..

    Yes it's another recipe..... And yes it is another first for me!

    Chocolate Pecan Squares. Melt-in-the-mouth shortbread base with a creamy,bownie like top packed full of pecans! If you love gooey chocolate and pecan pie, you will love these bars. Click the photo for the #chocolatepecanbarsrecipe #chocolatepecanpie #pecanbars

    Don't they look yummy?!

    They are Chocolate Pecan Squares. The original recipe was called Pecan Squares but I completely overhauled the recipe and turned them into Chocolate Pecan Squares. I can't help that I have an obsession with chocolate....

    They tasted fantastic straight out of the oven when they are lovely and warm and soft. However, I began to get worried once they had cooled, as they had gone a bit dry.

    BUT...

    I had one the next day. And I found they tasted even better and they weren't at all dry! So please, if you make these and you find them a bit dry right after baking, do not fear! They will taste better the next day.
