Crust
3/4cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3cup packed brown sugar
1egg
2cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
Filling
1cup butter or margarine
3/4cup packed brown sugar
1/4cup light corn syrup
2cups coarsely chopped pecans
1cup swirled milk chocolate and caramel chips (from 10-oz bag)
1.Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and sides of 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray (do not use dark pan).
2.In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until well blended. On low speed, beat in flour until dough begins to form. Press dough in pan.
3.Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar and the corn syrup to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil 2 minutes without stirring.
4.Quickly stir pecans into corn syrup mixture; spread over partially baked crust. Bake 20 to 23 minutes or until filling is golden brown and bubbly.
5.Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over hot bars. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. With rubber spatula, gently swirl melted chips over bars. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 24 squares (6 rows by 4 rows), then cut each square in half to make triangles. Store in refrigerator.

Kitchen Tips
Try using raspberry-flavored chocolate chips instead of the swirled chips.
Coarsely chopped walnuts can be used instead of the pecans.
