1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans
6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FRUIT & CHOCOLATE DREAM BARS

These are so quick and easy to make and the result is awesome. They are especially good when you need something sweet...fast. This comes from a Nestle cookbook. I have made it several times and it is always perfect. I have yet to make this recipe with the pecans. Seems I never have them on hand. But they're great without them anyway.
