Brownie Bottom Pecan Pie Bars

Be warned...these will be gone before you know it.  In fact, I ended up making these twice in about a week because they were gone way too fast.  They are just that good.

And just when you thought they couldn't get any tastier - there are chocolate chips in the topping too!  Double the chocolate!  The edges get sort of crispy from the corn syrup and sugar, but the middle is all ooey gooey goodness.   

 Makes about 25 bars

Brownie Bottom Pecan Pie Bars

1 box of brownie mix
ingredients to make brownies - water, eggs, oil (according to directions on box)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/3 cup corn syrup, plus 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 9-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Prepare brownie mix according to instruction and pour into greased pan.  Bake for about 20 minutes (about 1/2 the time it says on the box) and let cool for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the eggs, melted butter, corn syrup and sugar until well combined.  Add the chocolate chips and pecans and spread over the brownies.  Bake until set, about 25 minutes.  Cool completely in pan before cutting.
