Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies

1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups pecan halves
2/3 cup butter (do not substitute)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In large bowl, combine flour and 1 cup brown sugar and mix with fingers.

3. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter until mixture looks like cornmeal.

4. Pat evenly into a 13 x 9 baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

5. Sprinkle pecans over crust.

6. In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar.

7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils for 1 minute and looks syrupy.

8. Drizzle mixture over pecans.

9. Bake bars at 350F for 17-22 minutes until bubbly over entire surface.

10. Remove from oven and sprinkle immediately with milk chocolate chips.

11. Let melt for a few minutes, then swirl a knife through some of the chips to marble.

12. NOTE: Let set for about an hour before cutting, as the chocolate will need to set up.
