Easy Chocolate- Pecan Pie Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 eggs
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Preparation

Set oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 13\" x 9\" baking pan.
Set aside 1 cup of cake mix for the filling.
For the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining cake mix, butter, and slightly beaten egg.
Stir with a fork until crumbly.
Transfer into prepared pan.
With lightly floured hands, press lightly and evenly into bottom of pan to form a crust (don't pack crust down to hard).
Bake the crust for 12 minutes (don't over bake).
Meanwhile, for filling, in a medium bowl, combine the second mixture of eggs, brown sugar, cornsyrup and vanilla.
Add the reserved 1 cup of cake mixture; stir with a fork, just until blended (do not beat, some tiny clumps will remain thats okay!).
Spread filling evenly over baked crust; sprinkle evenly with pecans.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the filling appears set when pan is gently shaken.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Cut into bars.
