For a deeper flavor, toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before chopping. Allow to cool slightly before adding to the batter. Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. For clean cuts, chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
