Total Calories: 886
Yield: 75 bite-size squares

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup whole or chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a 3-quart bowl, combine flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup softened butter. Mix at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl often for 2 - 3 minutes or until well-mixed and particles are fine. Pat firmly into an ungreased 9x13x2-inch pan. Sprinkle pecans evenly over unbaked crust and press in lightly.

In a heavy 1-quart saucepan combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until entire surface of mixture begins to boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Pour caramel mixture over pecans and crust. Bake near the center of the oven for 18-22 minutes, or until entire caramel layer is bubbly and crust is light golden brown. Remove from oven, and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Allow chips to melt slightly (1 - 2 minutes), then swirl chips as they melt. Leave some whole for a marbled effect, and do not spread. Cool completely, and cut into desired size.
