Southern Pecan Chewies are just that--soft, chewy, loaded with pecans, brown sugar, and butter.

PECAN CHEWIES BARS

This is a Southern treat that is so easy to make. It is perfect for making around the holidays, keeping it a crowd-pleaser.

When I was getting ready to plan our menu for the Super Bowl Party, I saw some brownies on Pinterest that I wanted to make.

I really needed to make another kind of cookie bar besides something with chocolate in it since my husband is not a fan of chocolate; I know horas (giggles).

Actually, he was the only one at our party who didn't like chocolate. Bless his heart.

I just can't stand not having something for him to enjoy, too, so I remembered I used to make him Pecan Chewies just for that reason.

HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN PECAN CHEWIES

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

With a non-stick cooking spray, spray a 9 x 13 dish; set aside.

(Sometimes, I put them in a larger dish 11 x 17 to get more servings)

In a bowl of an electric mixer add the flour; set aside.

In a large microwave safe bowl, add butter. Microwave until butter is completely melted.

Add brown sugar and stir using a wire whisk until thoroughly blended; cool slightly.

Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, stirring until well blended.

Pour the mixture into the mixer with the flour mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix until all the flour is combined.

Add pecans and mix until all are combined.

Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish (It will be thick).

Bake until golden brown for 25 minutes.

Cool before cutting into bars.
