1 c. butter, softened
2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar

Mix butter, flour and sugar until crumbly. Press gently onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

FOR THE TOPPING:

1 c. sugar
1 c. white corn syrup
3/4 c. butter
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. chopped pecans
16 oz. pkg. chocolate chips

Combine sugar, corn syrup and butter and bring to a boil. Cook to hard ball stage (250 degrees). Lower heat, then add condensed milk. Return to boil and cook to hard ball stage. Mixture will develop a caramel color.

Pour mixture over baked crust, spreading quickly before it begins to harden. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and then chocolate chips. Spread chips out when melted. Let set a couple of hours before cutting.
