Chocolate-topped Pecan Pie Bars

"Made with a buttery pecan cookie crust and a soft, nutty filling, these pecan pie bars deliver all the flavor of classic pecan pie in an easy, hand-held form. Toasted pecans add depth, while a simple chocolate topping melts right over the warm bars and sets into a smooth finish. Baked in one pan and easy to slice, this is a dependable dessert for holidays, potlucks, and anytime you need something that travels well. If you love pecan pie but don’t always want to fuss with a full pie, these bars are the answer. The crust presses right into the pan without chilling, the filling comes together while it bakes, and everything layers neatly without extra steps. The chocolate topping might sound like it’s too much, but it actually balances the sweetness and gives the bars a clean finish. Once cooled, they cut easily, and hold their shape."
