For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, ensure it is completely cooled before adding the pecan filling. If you don't have light corn syrup, you can substitute with honey or golden syrup. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

05
StepPour the pecan mixture evenly over the cooled crust. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the oven until the filling is golden brown and set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely to room temperature. (Bake time: 25-30 minutes)
07
StepOnce cooled, cut the pie into 36 bars and place them in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour. (Chill time: 1 hour)
08
StepMelt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and completely melted (approximately 1 to 3 minutes depending on your microwave).
