Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

Topping

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix crust ingredients until well blended. Press in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375°F.

    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, the baking powder and eggs until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Pour topping evenly over crust, spreading slightly if necessary.
  • 3
    Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until deep golden brown and center is set. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.

  • Light brown sugar has less molasses and a more delicate flavor than dark brown sugar; either will work in this recipe. To resoften hardened brown sugar, seal it with an apple wedge in an airtight food-storage plastic bag for a day or two.
  • These bars will be a lot easier to cut and the edges will come out cleaner if you line the baking pan with foil before pressing in the crust. Use enough foil so that it extends over the edges. After baking and cooling the bars, use the foil to lift the bars out of the pan to cut.
