List of Ingredients




Base
½ cup of powdered sugar
½ cup of margarine or butter-softened
1 tablespoon of whipping cream
1 cup of all purpose or unbleached flour

Filling
24 vanilla caramels, unwrapped (Hersheys are the best)
1/3 cup of whipping cream
2 cups of pecan halves

Topping
1 teaspoon of margarine or butter
½ cup of milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of whipping cream


Recipe



Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
Grease a 9 inch square pan.

In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of butter or margarine, and 1 tablespoon of whipping cream. Blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour; mix until crumbly. With floured hands, press the mixture evenly into the greased pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until firm to the touch.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the caramels and 1/3 cup of the whipping cream. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat. Add the pecans; stir well to coat. Immediately spoon over the baked base; spread carefully to cover.

In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt 1 teaspoon of margarine or butter and the milk chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of whipping cream. Drizzle over the filling. Refrigerate 1 hour or until the filling is firm. Cut into small bars and enjoy.
