Preparation

Step 1


Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 13x9-in. baking pans with foil, letting ends extend up sides of pan.
Place flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Divide mixture between prepared pans; press onto bottom of pans. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Cool on a wire rack.
For filling, melt butter in a large saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips, cream and vanilla until smooth. Stir in pecans. Spread over crusts.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until filling is bubbly. Cool completely in pans on wire racks. Using foil, lift bars out of pans. Gently peel off foil; cut into bars. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 4 dozen.

Editor's Note: To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
