Southern Pecan Chewies are soft, chewy, and loaded with pecans, brown sugar, and butter.
The Best Kept Secret In the Kitchen, Pecan Chewie Bars
This is a Southern treat that is so easy to make. It is perfect for making around the holidays, keeping it a crowd-pleaser.
When I was getting ready to plan our menu for the Super Bowl Party, I saw some brownies that I wanted to make on Pinterest.
I really needed to make another kind of cookie bar besides something with chocolate in it since my husband is not a fan of chocolate; I know horas (giggles).
Actually, he was the only one at our party who didn't like chocolate. Bless his heart.
I just can't stand not having something for him to enjoy, too, so I remembered I used to make him Pecan Chewies just for that reason.

HOW TO PREPARE SOUTHERN PECAN CHEWIES
With a non-stick cooking spray, spray a 9 x 13 dish; set aside.
(Sometimes, I put them in a larger dish 11 x 17 to get more servings)
In a bowl of an electric mixer add the flour; set aside.
In a large microwave safe bowl, add butter. Microwave until butter is completely melted.
Add brown sugar and stir using a wire whisk until thoroughly blended; cool slightly.

Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, stirring until well blended.
Pour the mixture into the mixer with the flour mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix until all the flour is combined.
Add pecans and mix until all are combined.
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish (It will be thick).
Bake until golden brown for 25 minutes.
Cool before cutting into bars.

Can you tell me how many ounces in your box of brown sugar? Have a bag but don't think it would take the whole bag with that amount of butter.
ReplyDeleteLeesa ~ I use 3 cups of packed brown sugar...there is 16 oz. in a box of brown sugar. Hope this helps...
Delete16 oz will give you 2 cups, you will need 8 oz. more of brown sugar for this recipe.
DeleteI think my husband is going to love these! He's a big pecan fan. Thanks so much for sharing on Foodie Friday.

Doesn't like chocolate??? It always amazes me to hear about people who don't like the chocolate-y goodness. But I must say these bars look super delicious...even without chocolate.
ReplyDeleteDo you usually use the S.R. flour or the plain? These look delicious.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Moore
I must say...I usually use the self rising flour.
DeleteI have so many pecans and my husband would love these.

These are delicious, I know for a fact. I have been making them for nearly 50, yes, 50 years. They were called Chinese Chewies. Same recipe and they are wonderful, I will now call mine, "Southern Pecan Chewies". I am from Georgia, and I like the name better. They are tried and true and delicious.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you stopped by....welcome to CWK!
DeleteCan cashews be substituted?
ReplyDeleteOh Miss K! I believe this is the recipe I've been desiring for 30+ years! My grandmother called them blondies (opposite of brownies)! Dashing into kitchen to preheat my oven now! Many thanks to South Your Mouth for hooking us up!
