CHOCOLATE-DRIZZLED CINNAMON PECAN BARS

Category: Bars

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg, separated
2 cups flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup white baking chips

Beat butter and sugar in 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 (at least 15 inch x 12 inch) ungreased baking sheet.

Beat egg white until foamy. Brush on dough. Sprinkle with nuts; lightly press into dough. Bake in at 300 for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch bars while still hot. Remove from baking sheet. Cool completely on wire rack.

Melt chocolate chips in separate bowls as directed on pkg Spoon each melted chocolate into a plastic sandwich bag, then cut a small piece from one of the bottom corners of the bag. Close the bag tightly, then drizzle the chocolates in a pretty pattern over the bars. Let stand until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container.
