These bars went overboard on gooeyness topped with chocolate and pecans. We recommend making them over and over again.

  • 4 Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat water and butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar and cocoa with whisk until combined. Cool 5 minutes. Stir in eggs with whisk.
  • 5 Pour chocolate mixture over cooled crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over top.
  • 6 Bake on middle oven rack 45 minutes. (If garnishing with finely chopped pecans, after 30 minutes of baking, quickly open oven and sprinkle pecans over top. Bake 15 minutes longer.) Remove from oven to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
