3 c. unsifted flour
2 c. sugar, divided
1 c. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. light or dark corn syrup
6 sq. (6 oz.) semi-sweet or 6 oz. German sweet chocolate
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

CRUST: Grease bottom and sides of a 15x10x1 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, with electric mixer, beat flour, 1/2 cup sugar, butter and salt until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press evenly into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

FILLING: In a large saucepan, stir corn syrup and chocolate over low heat just until melted. Remove from heat, stir in remaining sugar, eggs and vanilla until blended. Stir in pecans. Pour filling over hot crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool and cut into bars.
