Yum….I stumbled across this recipe for chocolate chip bars and I happened to have everything it called for (don’t you love when that happens?) I made a half batch in a glass 13 x 9 inch dish and let me tell you, these are yummy. Moist and soft and bursting with chocolate…my kinda treat! These are going to work with me tomorrow, I want to get some reviews.
Here’s the recipe from the site:
Pat’s Chocolate Chip Bars (15×10 inch pan)
8 oz butter (regular)
1 1/4 cup of white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon of pure vanilla
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (Spoon and level)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 (12 oz) packages of semi-sweet chocolate chips (don’t cut back)
2 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Cream the butter and sugars, beat in the eggs and vanilla.. Combine the dry ingredients and blend in. Add chips and nuts. Spread in a greased 15x 10 inch baking pan. Bake at 350′ for 15-20 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. (Anna’s Note — My half batch took about 20 minutes, Janet’s full batch took 30, so watch the bars and check at 20 minutes.)
Ooh we call those congo squares in my family, and they are always a hit!
