LETHAL LAYERS

Category: Bars

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup flour
1-2 cup pecan halves
2 eggs
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
additional flour(see below)
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. In a food processor, combine the first three ingredients with a metal blade until coarse crumbs are formed. (Can also be done with 2 knives or a pastry cutter). Pat as a crust into a buttered 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.

Spread pecans over cooled crust. Beat eggs with brown sugar until thick. Add vanilla. Put salt and baking power in the bottom of a 1/4 cup measure, then fill the rest of the measure with flour. Stir this into egg mixture. Pour this mixture over the pecans and crust. Sprinkle chips over the mixture. Bake for 20 minutes or until center is set. Let cool before cutting.
