(from Aldi Dessert recipes)   Makes: 8 large pieces

Ingredients

• 1 cup pecan nuts, split into quarter cup and 3 quarter cups
• ¾ cup salted butter, melted & cooled (or add extra salt if using unsalted)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup plain flour
• 2 tsp BP
  1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup white chocolate melts, melted
• ⅓ cup dark chocolate melts
  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C FF. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin.
  2. Roughly chop pecans, set aside. Place sugar, flour, oats & BP into large mixing bowl. Stir,  mix in the melted butter and beaten eggs with wooden spoon.
  3. Fold in melted white chocolate and ¾ cup chopped pecans and stir to evenly combine.
  4. Pour into prepared tin, sprinkle with remaining pecans. Bake 30 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and leave to cool slightly for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate. Transfer slice to a cooling rack and spoon over the melted dark chocolate. Allow to cool then cut into 8 pieces.

  Note: You can drizzle the chocolate across the top of the slice with a spoon – in a lined pattern or simply pour the chocolate over the top and smooth it with a palette knife.

  Tip: For a less sweet version, you can swap the white chocolate for more dark chocolate.
