How to Make Caramel Butter Pecan Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 cup pecan halves over the crust.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm 1 (14 ounce) can caramel topping until smooth and pourable. Drizzle evenly over the pecans.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the warm caramel layer.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate evenly using a spatula or knife.
- Cool completely at room temperature for at least 6 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
- Once completely cool, cut into bars and serve.
