Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup pecan halves
• 2/3 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

• To make the crust: Combine the flour, brown sugar, and butter, beating at medium speed with an electric mixer until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 9″x 13″x 2″ baking pan. Place the pecans evenly over the top of the crust. To make the topping: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine the butter and brown sugar in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil. Continue stirring and allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. Pour evenly over the crust and pecans. Bake 18-22 minutes, until the caramel layer is bubbly. Be sure not to overbake. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and allow to melt slightly. Swirl the chocolate chips over the crust. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
