Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

I love pecans and pecan pie anything.  I found several recipes online but decided to go with this one.  I typically like brown sugar in the crust and thought this one would be a winner.  I was right!  The bottom had a little bit of a chewy, caramelized texture.  These bars are fabulous.  Be sure to spray the pan very well!!
