Butter Pecan Turtle Bars

Butter Pecan Turtle Bars I

Ingredients

Crust:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup pecans

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup butter
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

For crust:

Mix flour, brown sugar and butter 2 to 3 minutes at medium speed until well mixed and particles are fine. Pat firmly into ungreased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with pecans.

For Caramel Layer:

Cook brown sugar and butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture begins to boil. Boil 1 minute. Pour evenly over crust.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until entire caramel layer is bubbly and crust is light golden brown. Remove from oven.

Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Allow chips to melt slightly 2-3 minutes. Slightly swirl chips as they melt, leaving some of the chips whole to give a marble effect.

Cool and cut.
