I’m sharing my recipe for Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars – I’ve got tons of chocolate chips, and tons of pecans, so I’m off to bake some. Now, if you’ve never tried these, then you MUST try them (and don’t come knocking on MY door ’cause I can eat an entire batch, and down a gallon of milk along with it in no time flat!). And just to clarify – I HATE pecan pie, and I LOVE these…

So… cheers to calories, chocolate & fatty goodness!

Crust –
1 1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Butter — Softened
1/4 cup Brown Sugar — Firmly Packed
Filling –
3 Eggs
3/4 cup Corn Syrup
3/4 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Butter — Melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup Pecans — Coarsely Chopped
12 ounces Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:

CRUST: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. In small bowl, mix flour, 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Press into greased 13×9″ baking pan. Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.

FILLING: In medium bowl with wire whisk, beat eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Stir in pecans and chocolate. Pour evenly over baked crust. Bake 25-30 minutes until set. Cool; cut in bars.

Eat, drink & be merry!

And in the meanwhile, check out “Chocolate, Anyone?”

Oh, and next time you’re in Destin or anywhere along the Emerald Coast – give me a ring & I’ll make these just for you if you book your wedding!  Hahahaha!  Oh, and if you’re coming to the studio for your children’s portraits, I’ll just send these with you when you go ;)

I think I like wordpress a little better than blogspot, it is a little more satisfying to the creative side of me, so we’ll see how it goes! I expect that its “face” will change quite a bit until I settle on a theme I like especially as I revamp my website!

So – stay tuned for updates, info, pics, and more!

Also keep an eye out for us in Destin, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and along the Emerald Coast.  We are also offering our photography at Destination weddings beyond the Emerald Coast of Florida!
