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
