Espresso Chocolate Chip Blondies

I know they look brownies...not blondies...but they're not brownies.  They are blondies...or maybe they should be called brunettes...but whatever you call these...they are so rich and delicious.  If you love coffee flavored desserts half as much as I do...You are gonna love these.

Espresso Chocolate Chip Blondies

1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease an 8x8 pan with butter.  In a bowl mix together the melted butter and brown sugar, beat until smooth.  Then add the egg, vanilla extract, and instant espresso, stir until incorporated.  Stir in the pecans and chocolate chips.  Pour in to the buttered pan.   Bake until the center is just set, about 20 to 25 minutes. Don't over bake.  Let cool in the pan and cut into 2 inch squares.
