Crust
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup chopped pecans
Beat butter until creamy. Add brown sugar and mix well. Add flour gradually and mix well. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9″x13″ pan. Sprinkle with pecans.
Filling
* 2/3 cup butter
* 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1 bag milk chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil, and continue stirring for about 30 seconds. Pour over crust and pecans. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for a few minutes, then spread chocolate over bars. Refrigerate to harden quicker. Cool and cut into bars.
***Blue Bonnet Margarine was substituted for butter when I made these bars.
