Pecan Fudge Squares

This recipe produces a very fudgey, chocolatey bar. The crunch of the pecan pieces mixes well with the slightly under-baked gooey texture of the bars.

Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup butter
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
¾ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the microwave, melt together chocolate chips and butter until just combined. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the chocolate mixture. Add the flour and pecans.
Pour dough into a 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Yields 24 squares
