BUTTER PECAN TURTLE BARS

Category: Bars

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar (firmly packed), divided use
2 cups flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup milk chocolate morsels

Beat 1/2 cup butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; add 1 cup brown sugar, beating well. Gradually add flour, beating at low speed until blended. Press mixture into an ungreased 13x9 inch pan. Sprinkle with pecans.

Combine 2/3 cup butter and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and pour over crust.

Bake at 350 for 18 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven. Sprinkle immediately with milk chocolate morsels; let stand 2 to 3 minutes, and swirl chocolate with a knife. Chill until chocolate hardens. Cut into squares.
