Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup pecan halves or chopped pecans

Combine first 3 ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Pat mixture firmly into a 9x13 pan. Arrange pecans over crust.

2nd Layer

2/3 cup butter

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup milk chocolate morsels

Combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour mixture over pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
