Happy Monday everyone! Not much going on in my life right now. Just trying to get through the rest of the hot hot hot summer here in Utah. My darling sister and her cute son are coming to visit on Thursday, so you most likely won’t hear from me until Monday when I will be very depressed after she leaves me to go back home to Oregon. :( We don’t get to see each other very often, maybe once every year or two, so I get very excited to see her and very depressed when she leaves. But I will be back to baking along after that. I’ll have to keep myself very busy to keep my head up! Now onto the goodies!!!
Yum Yum Yum. That’s all I can say about these chewy, chocolaty bars of goodness. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. It’s like eating a huge, chunky, chewy chocolate chip cookie. That is my kind of treat! I don’t make bars very often and I’m not sure why, because I really enjoyed these. They are exactly how I like my cookies, but in a bar form. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry! I hope you all have a great week!

4. Slowly add flour mixture a little at a time until mixed thoroughly.
5. Stir in the pecans and chocolate chips by hand.

My kids couldn’t even keep away!

Awww, look at those kiddies. So blonde!
My nephew is very fair, and has blonde hair, which is ironic, because his dad’s Italian.
Anyway, too much information. The bars look great. Pecans are my favorite.
