These dessert bars walk a delicious line between creamy chocolate fudge and pecan pie. Dark chocolate balances out the sweetness, but if you like it sweeter, just use milk chocolate instead. To make these bourbon pecan pie bars doubly delicious, grab an extra bar or two of chocolate and drizzle it over the pan after slicing.
