Caramel Pecan Bars

This is a bar cookie that looks unassuming--but you'll have a hard time staying out of them--they taste a lot like pecan pie.

1 c. margarine, melted
2 1/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 cps. chopped pecans

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine the margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla until well blended. In a seperate bowl combine the baking powder and flour. Then add the flour mixture to the brown sugar mixture and mix well. Then fold in the chopped pecans and pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs (but no batter). They will be golden brown--and yummy. Can cut with a plastic knife while still warm if you can't wait until they cool.
