    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: Shellcooks Got this from TOH last year. Was a big hit with everyone

    List of Ingredients




    1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
    20 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (I used plain chocolate wafers)
    1 package (14 ounces) caramels
    3 cups chopped pecans, toasted
    TOPPING:
    3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
    3 tablespoons light corn syrup
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Melt 1/3 cup butter; stir in the cookie crumbs. Press into an ungreased 9-in. square baking
    dish. Bake at 325° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack. In a saucepan
    over low heat, melt caramels and remaining butter. Stir in the pecans. Pour over crust.
    Cool. For topping, in a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, butter, cream and corn
    syrup. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
    Pour over caramel layer. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens. Let
    candy stand at room temperature for 5-10 min. before cutting into 1-in. squares. Store in
    the refrigerator.

    Yield: about 6-1/2 dozen
