Chocolate Chip-Pecan Blondies
Makes about 4 dozen
Prep: 15 min., Bake: 35 min.
Game Plan: Prepare Friday evening and cool completely. Cut bars Saturday morning so the edges don't dry out. Pack in an air-tight container if traveling or stack on a pretty platter.
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 lb. dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 (11.5-oz.) package milk chocolate morsels (Ghirardelli)
1 cup bittersweet chocolate morsels (Ghirardelli)
1 (6-oz.) package pecan halves, toasted, cooled, and coarsely chopped



Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center holds a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake. (I baked mine for 35 minutes because I like a gooier bar.) Cool completely. Cut into squares.
The Extra Point: Having a few friends for supper? Cut bars into 15 squares, microwave a few seconds until warm, and top with a generous scoop of Haagen Dazs coffee or vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with Easy Chocolate Sauce.

Easy Chocolate Sauce: Microwave 1 cup bittersweet chocolate morsels and 3/4 cup heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe glass bowl on HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Makes about 1 1/4 cups. Prep: 5 min.
