Preparation

  1. In food processor container, combine Pioneer Biscuit & Baking Mix, 1 cup of the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the butter. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  2. Press mixture on bottom of 13x9x2-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray to form crust. Sprinkle pecans evenly over crust.
  3. In 8-cup glass measure or microwave-safe bowl, combine remaining 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Microwave on High for 4 minutes or until mixture is thickened and syrupy, stirring every minute. Pour evenly over crust and pecans.
  4. Bake at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes or until caramel layer is bubbly. Remove from oven; sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand 3 minutes. Using a knife, swirl chips over caramel to create a marbled effect..
  5. Cool completely; cut into bars. Makes 36 bars.
