Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks (12 Tablespoons) cold butter, sliced into pieces
1 cup finely chopped pecans
12 oz jar caramel ice cream topping, warmed until pourable
11.5 oz bag milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. 2. In a large bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until you have a blended, crumbly mixture. Evenly sprinkle over the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 pan. Press firmly to make a crust. Sprinkle pecans evenly over the crust and drizzle with the caramel topping. 3. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the caramel is bubbling all over. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with entire bag of chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 minutes, then carefully spread the melted chips over the surface of the bars. Cool until chocolate is set, then cut into squares.
