Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars

I just love pecan pie during the holidays. I have been making a chocolate pecan pie for Thanksgiving the last few years. I wanted to change it up this year well from a pie to bars.
I found this recipe on Pinterest for Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars! Delish! Of course they were super easy to make which is always a good thing for me. Just a little easy too devour - I had to keep them on my porch so I would not sneak one each time I walked by.
I am very thankful for my three season porch so I can store all my holiday baking there and it is out of sight out of mind! Back to the bars please make these this holiday season you will not be sorry. Just eat one and give the rest to teachers, neighbors, your family. They will thank you!
