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

These are so good, I've made them several times and everyone always loves them. I've made it doubling the cookie bottom, and I've made it doubling the caramel (had to add 10 minutes to the cooking time for that one). Absolutely delicious recipe, thanks Pan Nam.

What's not to love about all those sticks of butter! I usually make extra caramel--use 3/4 cup sugar and 2 sticks of butter (no measuring and I am lazy). Took these to work the first time I made them and they lasted 1/2 hour in an office of 7 people.

We had my in-laws over for dinner. This is what I served for dessert. Very delicious. Rich and ooey-gooey. I used 1 cup of chocolate morsels and that gave a good chocolate flavor but didn't overpower the pecans and caramel flavor. Very easy and we sure enjoyed them. Thanks.
