This Salted Caramel Pecan Bar Recipe makes a wonderful treat that is a cross between a cookie and a blondie, but better! I love them because they are soft like a cookie, but stand up like a blondie.
Made with a just-right caramel filling is and chopped pecans, these never last long in the house.
I also love the milk chocolate chips as they propel this to a seriously-addicting level for dessert bars.
