Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/4 cup butter OR margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped Pecans
LAYERS:

  • 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  3. Heat unwrapped caramels, butter, cream and corn syrup in a large microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100% power) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is smooth. Carefully spread over baked crust. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until caramel is just starting to bubble. Remove from oven and place on wire rack.
  4. Sprinkle bars with chocolate chips and let rest for 5 minutes until chocolate is melted. Carefully spread chocolate over the caramel using back of spoon for swirl effect leaving portions of caramel exposed. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until chocolate is set.
