This is an old family recipe. It's fairly simple to make. Love the chocolate layer on top!
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, divided
1 1/4 cups room temperature butter, divided
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 -2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Blend together the flour, 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter until particles are fine crumbs.
3. Pat into an ungreased 9 X 13 glass pan.
4. Spread the pecans over the crust.
5. Put the remaining butter (3/4 cup), brown sugar (1/2 cup) and vanilla into a small saucepan.
6. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly.
7. Bring to a full boil and boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
8. Pour over the crust and pecans.
9. Bake for 20 minutes and remove from oven- do not overbake.
10. Immediately sprinkle the top with 1 - 2 cups of chocolate chips.
11. The amount depends on your preference for chocolate.
12. Two cups will give a fairly thick layer.
13. When the chips have melted, spread evenly over the crust with a spreader or butter knife.
