Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies

none

1-3/4 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted


2 cups whole pecan halves
2/3 cup butter (no substitutes)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first 3 ingredients until the
mixture looks like cornmeal. Pat evenly into a 13' x 9' baking pan.

Sprinkle pecans over crust. In a small saucepan, combine butter and brown
sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils
for 1 minute and looks syrupy. Drizzle over the pecans. Bake bars at 350
degrees 17-22 minutes until bubbly over entire surface. Remove from oven.

Sprinkle immediately with milk chocolate chips, let melt for a few
minutes, then swirl a knife through some of the chips to marble. Don't
try to spread the chips over the whole pan. 36 bars
