Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line a 9x13 baking dish with tin foil
To make the crust, mix the dry ingredients (flour, confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder) in a large bowl
Add the butter and cut it in using a pastry blender or your hands. Work the butter in until the mix has the consistency of sand. Be patient, it will take at least five minutes or so
Pour the crust mix into the baking pan and press it to make an even layer in the bottom of the pan
Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes
While the crust is baking prepare the filling
Melt the chocolate, using the microwave, in 30 second increments stopping each time to stir until the chocolate is completely melted
In a large bowl, first combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, flour and eggs and then stir in the melted chocolate
Add the pecans to the chocolate mix and stir until just combined
Pour the filling over the top of the hot crust
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes
The bars are done when a toothpick comes out clean and the middle is set
Cool in the pan before covering with plastic wrap
Let the bars set over
