Preheat oven to 325*F (160*C).
In a large bowl blend all base ingredients at low speed until crumbly. Press in bottom of ungreased 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool.

Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup powdered sugar and chopped pecans. (Add additional whipping cream a small amount at a time, if needed for desired consistency.) Spread warm filling over base.
In small saucepan, combine chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons whipping cream and 1 tablespoon butter; cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Drizzle over filling. Cool and cut into bars.
