Caramel Butter Pecan Bars

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup cold butter
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping, warmed
1 (11 1/2 ounce) package milk chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press into an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Top with pecans. Drizzle caramel topping evenly over pecans.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until caramel is bubbly. Remove to a wire rack. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Carefully spread chips over caramel layer. Cool at room temperature for at least 6 hours or until chocolate is set. Cut into bars.

Yields 4 dozen.
