Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 2/3 cup butter (do not substitute)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In large bowl, combine flour and 1 cup brown sugar and mix with fingers.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter until mixture looks like cornmeal.
  • Pat evenly into a 13 x 9 baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.
  • Sprinkle pecans over crust.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils for 1 minute and looks syrupy.
  • Drizzle mixture over pecans.
  • Bake bars at 350F for 17-22 minutes until bubbly over entire surface.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle immediately with milk chocolate chips.
  • Let melt for a few minutes, then swirl a knife through some of the chips to marble.
  • NOTE: Let set for about an hour before cutting, as the chocolate will need to set up.
