Chewy Bars

OK, I have to say, These are really called Chewy Bread. But I have no idea why, this is a sweet bar.
More like a Blonde and very easy to make.

Remember all that self-rising flour I bought? This was another recipe that had a million zillion versions when I did a recipe search.

All had the basic ingredients, butter, flour, brown sugar, eggs.

Most had nuts.

A few had Chocolate chips.

You know which one I chose…

Chewy Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 box (2 cups) light brown sugar
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups self rising flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Brown sugar, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Make sure it's blended well. Add flour, 1 cup at a time making sure batter is smooth.
  2. Pour batter into a greased or parchment lined 9 x 13 pan.
  3. Smooth out to the corners. Your batter will be thicker than cake batter but thinner than most brownie batter.
  4. Sprinkle on your nuts, Then your chocolate chips.
  5. Most of the recipes I saw said to press chips and nuts down into the batter. I just tapped my pan on the counter a few times to make them sink in a bit.
  6. Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting and eating.

And just like a brownie, the edges and corners are the best!

    These were called Blonde Brownies back in the early 70’s. The recipe was on the back of the chocolate chip sack. I had them at a birthday party my at-the-time 3 yr old son was attending, and have been crazy for them ever since. Speaking of corners being the best—I bought a 13 x 9 pan that is configured so every serving has a crust/corner edge !!

    Adding half a bag of those wonderful caramel bits would make these even gooier (if that’s really a word, anyway). 😉
