1/2 cup butter, softened

Filling
1 cup pecan halves
1 1/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed

Topping

Crust: Combine flour, brown sugar and softened butter in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pat mixture evenly onto bottom of ungreased 13 X 9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle pecans evenly over crumb mixture. Make a low edge to keep the mix in. The high the edge, the less it stays together.

Bake in 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven 18 to 20 minutes or until entire surface is bubbly. Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes to allow chocolate to melt; use knife to swirl chocolate slightly. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Use sharp knife to cut into 48 bars.
