Serving Size: 36

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 8 Ounces (oz) package crescent rolls, packaged
• 0.67 Cups butter, melted
• 0.67 Cups packed brown sugar
• 1.5 Cups pecans, minced
• 1 Cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared pan, pinching the seams together to form a single sheet of dough. This will serve as the base for your bars.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved, then bring the mixture to a rolling boil for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4. Pour the hot butter and sugar mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust. Sprinkle the minced pecans evenly over the top, ensuring they are well distributed.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the topping is bubbling.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot pecan topping. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to soften, then gently spread the melted chocolate over the bars with a spatula, taking care not to disturb the pecan layer.
7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or triangles. This will ensure clean cuts and prevent the layers from separating.
