Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been absent of late from BoB. I have many excuses, but I won’t get into all of that. The important thing is that I finally share with all of you some of the things I’ve been baking.
First up are these amazingly delicious bars. Imagine a buttery pecan crust. Now, let’s put some cheesecake on top of that. But not just any cheesecake - chocolate cheesecake. Sounds good, huh? Well, how about a pecan pie layer on top of that? I know!!!
I knew immediately when I saw this recipe, courtesy of Paula Deen (who else?) that I had to make it. It’s like she developed it especially for me. I can’t think of many things I like more in the sweets department than chocolate, pecans, and cheesecake.
These are beyond delicious. I shared these with a friend who, like me, is a fan of all things pecan. He later informed me that he wanted them again for his birthday. It is rare that I bake the same recipe more than once, but these will definitely be an exception.

I can only imagine how good and gooey this is. All Paula Deen desserts are - you just have to try and forget how many sticks of butter are being used!

YUM! My husband would love these!

Oh, those look sinful. Just in time for Thanksgiving, too. I am with you on the one-time recipe trend–even if they turn out well, there are always so many more to try! Who has time for repeats?

Yum! I like that the recipe is made in a 9 x 13 pan so the servings can be custom cut…small…or for me…a rather large square :
8 Culinarywannabe // Nov 18, 2008 at 5:37 am
Holy cow!! These are going into my must make pronto folder. Yay!!

Thanks, everyone! I’m glad to be back.
Di, there’s a link underneath the post’s title that should work for you. Here’s another: Chocolate Pecan Cheesecake Bars.

I full-on gasped out loud when that picture loaded. Ye gods.
27 Nazarina A // Nov 21, 2008 at 10:42 am
What an array of pure blissful desserts!
28 Karen @ Mignardise // Nov 22, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Love you blog - just subscribed. Also just started a food blog myself. These bars look amazing - in fact all your recipes do! Thanks!
29 kimberleyblue // Nov 23, 2008 at 2:01 am
Those are fantastically decadent - they’re going on my must-bake list!
30 giz // Nov 23, 2008 at 8:20 am
This recipe is one of those “must make” bars for the holidays. Duly tagged. They look amazing.
31 dawn // Nov 23, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I’m with you, that combo is always perfect, no matter how you mix, create it, make it.
You know if ever there is going to be a ‘food porn’ tv channel, clearly you need to be the sponsor.
32 Vianna // Nov 23, 2008 at 9:42 pm
I must say that I love this blog. Really, is one of my favorites. I just started one blog of cooking and fashion. And I want mine to be as good as BoB.

There are no words. Wow. I cannot wait to make these! Thank you, and welcome back
34 Katelyn // Nov 24, 2008 at 11:50 am
Chocolate…Cheesecake…Pecans…Say no more!
35 Emily // Nov 25, 2008 at 12:20 pm
I made this recipe for my boyfriend to enjoy while I am out of town during thanksgiving. He nearly died of pleasure. He is a huge critic of my baking. No cookie is crumbly enough, no bread is moist enough. But these bars. They were “perfect.”
Thank you! http://web.me.com/emilylaird/Emily_Laird/Photos/Photos.html

These look sinfully delicious!!
38 Jeanette // Dec 22, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Ok, I just made these bard.
What can I say, I don’t know, I can not find a word that describe how utterly sinful and decadent they are.
I am cutting them so I get 48 pieces out of the pan, they are very rich and a small piece is a nice tease:)))))
