Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
  • 2 sticks butter room temperature*
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cups flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350. In small saute pan place chopped pecans on medium to high heat making sure to stir them constantly until golden brown. Remove from pan once done.
  • In small mixing bowl add flour, corn starch, salt, peanut butter chips and pecans. Leave a small handful of chips and pecans aside. In a separate mixing bowl blend butter and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend until creamy. Slowly add in flour mixture to butter mixture until fully combined. The dough will be crumbly.
  • Using your hands knead dough until it forms a ball. Place on baking sheet or stone. Pat flat until it forms a 10-inch circle and is about 1/2 inch thick. With a pizza cutter score dough into 8-16 sections depending on how big you want them. Then take remaining handful of chips and pecans and sprinkle on top. Lightly press them in to keep them in place.
  • Bake 35 minutes until deep golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack until completely cooled. Serve or place in air tight container.
