Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies Bars

These are amazing!!!

Crust:
2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup pecan halves

Caramel Layer:
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup milk chocolate pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To make crust: Stir together the flour and 1 cup brown sugar. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pat the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9 baking dish. Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the unbaked crust.

To make the caramel layer: In a saucepan, stir together the 2/3 cup butter and the 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until well-blended and the mixture begins to boil. Boil for 1 minute -- stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over the pecans and crust.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the caramel layer is bubbly and the crust is a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the milk chocolate pieces. Let stand for 2 - 3 minutes, then slightly swirl the chocolate pieces as they melt. Cool the bars completely prior to cutting.
