Somebody gave me this recipe and it sounds sooooo good. If I didn't have an apple pie in the oven I'd be making these.

BUTTER PECAN TURTLES
Crust:
· 2 cups flour
· 1 cup brown sugar
· 1/2 cup butter, softened
· 1 cup chopped pecans
Caramel:
· 2/3 cup butter
· 1/2 cup brown sugar
Topping:
· 1 cup milk chocolate chips

In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, sugar and butter. Mix at medium speed until fine particles form. Mixture will look crumbly. Pat mixture into an ungreased 9- by 13-inch pan. Sprinkle pecans over crust.

To make caramel layer, combine butter and sugar in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until entire surface begins to boil. Boil 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly. Pour mixture evenly over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes or until caramel is bubbly and crust is light golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chips. Allow chips to melt slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Swirl chips as they melt, leaving some whole for a marbled effect. Cool and cut into 3 to 4 dozen bars.
