Instructions
 

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 9x13x2-inch baking pan. Place the pecans evenly over the top of the crust.

To make the topping:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Combine the butter and brown sugar in a medium 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.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
  • Recipe slightly adapted from Land O’Lakes.
