Instructions:

1. Prep pan & oven
   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix wet ingredients
   • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
   • Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined.
3. Mix dry ingredients
   • In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Fold into wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix).
4. Add pecans
   • Stir in chopped pecans (and chocolate chips, if using).
5. Bake
   • Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
   • Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool & cut
   • Let cool completely before cutting into squares or bars.

🍴 Serving Tips:

• Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a pecan pie à la mode vibe.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days (they stay chewy!).

👉 Would you like me to also give you a butterscotch pecan chewies variation that’s even gooier and more like a pecan pie bar?
