Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the flour until just combined.
• Press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C).
• Remove from heat and stir in the pecans. Pour the caramel mixture over the baked crust.
• Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
• Melt the chocolate chips. Spread evenly over the cooled caramel layer. Let set completely before cutting into bars.
