Ingredients
Bottom layer:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup whole pecan halves
Caramel Layer:
- ⅔ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
Topping:
- 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, brown sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Pat the mixture firmly into an ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the unbaked crust layer.
- Prepare the caramel layer by combining the butter and brown sugar in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a rapid boil. Continue cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly. Be careful not to let the caramel get too dark or burn. Pour the boiling mixture evenly over the pecans and crust. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the crust is light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Let the chips sit for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Spread the melted chips evenly over the surface.
- Makes 3-4 dozen.
