Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until well-blended. Gradually add all-purpose flour, stirring until you have a crumbly dough. Press the mixture evenly into a greased baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
  2. For the caramel layer, combine sweetened condensed milk and chopped pecans in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbling.
  3. Pour the caramel pecan layer over the baked crust and evenly spread it. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and use a spatula to cover evenly.
  4. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for quicker cooling.
  5. Once cooled, carefully slice into even pieces. Optionally, garnish with sea salt or chopped pecans before serving.
