Crumb crust
2 c Flour
1 c Brown sugar
½ c Margarine (softened)

1 c Pecan halves

Caramel sauce
¾ c Margarine
½ c Brown sugar, firmly packed

1 c Chocolate chops

Crumb crust: In large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and margarine. Blend medium speed 2 to 3 minutes, until fine crumbs. Pat into 9 x 13 pan un-greased. Lay in pecan halves in an organized manner.

Caramel sauce: In heavy pan combine brown sugar & butter, cook on medium heat until it boils. Stir constantly. Drizzle over crumb crust and pecans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes or until caramel layer is bubbly.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle immediately with chips. Allow chips to melt slightly then swirl with a knife. Do not spread chips, leave some whole.

Cool slightly before cutting.
