Directions

CRUST:

Using a pastry blender or fork, combine the butter, flour, and brown sugar until the mixture forms fine crumbs.
Press the mixture into an ungreased 9" x 13" pan.
Sprinkle the crust with the pecan pieces. Set aside.

CARAMEL LAYER:

Combine the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute.
Drizzle the mixture evenly over the crust.
Bake the crust for 20 minutes at 350Â°F.

TOPPING:

Immediately after removing the crust from the oven, sprinkle it with chocolate chips. Allow the chocolate chips to stand for 5 minutes so that they will melt; then spread evenly over the surface of the bars.
Let the bars cool; then cut them into the desired serving size.
