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.

Recipe TipDuring the baking process, the center will puff up and then collapse, creating a really dense and chewy middle.

Don’t Have Pecans"

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

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.
