Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

To brown the butter, melt completely on medium high, stirring occasionally. Once completely melted, continue stirring more frequently. Do not leave the oven at this moment, as the butter can go from brown to burnt in a matter of seconds. You will begin to see the butter turn darker, and foam slightly. It may also sizzle (3-5 minutes total). Once it stops sizzling, the butter is ready. You'll also note it's ready if it gives off a nutty/toffee aroma. Golden brown bits will begin to collect at the bottom of your pan.

Step 3

Allow to slightly cool and then transfer into a bowl and whisk in brown sugar.

Step 4

Add egg and vanilla, continue whisking.

Step 5

Toss in flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Fold lightly with a spatula until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Add in pecans and chopped dark chocolate.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Do not over bake or the bars will be dry. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set, then serve warm.

Step 8

Enjoy!
