CHOCOLATE-DRIZZLED CINNAMON PECAN BARS
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, separated
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup white baking chips (optional)
Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, beat well. Add flour and cinnamon; beat on low speed until well blended. Press dough out evenly into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle on large ungreased baking sheet. (I used a rectangle baking pan with sides.)
Beat egg white until foamy. Brush on dough. Sprinkle with nuts. Lightly press into dough. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. When dough is slightly cooled, press in half of the dark chocolate chips and all of the white chips. Cut into bars while still warm. Melt remaining dark chocolate in a pan set inside a larger pan filled with boiling water. Drizzle chocolate over bars. Makes about 2 dozen.
(One taster said he preferred these without the chocolate chips.)

Thank you Dot ~ your blogs are filled with love and I love the pictures you include. Thanks for taking your time for us fans.

ReplyDeleteI read you article about the coconut milk. My wife and I have been on life style change in eating (not a diet)for 5 years. She has lost 120 lbs and I have lost 60lbs. She works out with Jillian Michels and one of the things she has learned is that Jillian uses coconut milk all the time and recomends it. She even uses in her coffee.
