INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and immediately sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the hot crust.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the pecans, spreading it out to cover them evenly.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chocolate chips are melted and the caramel is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
