Charleston Chewies

What Are Charleston Chewies?

Charleston Chewies are basically brown sugar blondies with lots of pecans. This particular recipe is also flavored with a little almond extract. My favorite extract! They have a fabulous chewy texture and are perfect for potlucks and picnics.

Makes Use Of Pantry Ingredients

What You’ll Need:

• Salted Butter- you can use unsalted butter instead and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Brown Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Almond Extract
• Eggs
• Self-Rising Flour- if you don’t have self-rising flour you can use 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt
• Pecans
• Powdered Sugar

Storage

These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days.

Don’t Have Pecans?

Pecans are the most southern of nuts and I love their buttery flavor. You can substitute walnuts or macadamia nuts.

Recipe Tips

Dust with powdered sugar for a little extra sweetness.

Use parchment paper to line the baking dish and you will easily be able to lift the bars out of the baking dish and cut them perfectly.
