Recipe Introduction


Dark brown sugar gives these buttery treats an extra-rich
taste


List of Ingredients




2 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

3 tablespoons whipping cream

1 cup pecan halves, toasted
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (about 5 1/2 ounces)


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Mix flour, 1 cup brown sugar,
and 3/4 cup butter in processor until well blended and
crumbly. Press mixture evenly into ungreased 9x13x2-inch
metal baking dish. Bake until crust is light golden, about
15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.

Meanwhile, bring remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup
butter, and cream to boil in small saucepan over high heat,
stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil 1 minute, stirring
occasionally. Remove caramel from heat.

Sprinkle pecans over crust. Pour caramel over pecans. Bake
until bubbles form and color darkens, about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let
stand until chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Using offset
spatula, spread chocolate evenly over top. Chill bars until
chocolate sets, about 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch squares.

Makes about 70.
