Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 Cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 Tbsp. Whipping cream
  • 1 Cup sifted All-Purpose flour

Filling Ingredients

  • 24 Caramels unwrapped
  • 1/3 Cup whipping cream
  • 2 Cups Pecan halves

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/2 Cup good quality milk chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp. Whipping Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°
  • Grease a 9" or a 9 x 13 baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 Tbsp. whipping cream. Blend together well using mixer on low to medium.
  • Add in the 1 Cup of flour and mix just until crumbly.
  • Dip your fingers into a small amount of flour and then press the Crust into the baking pan. Flouring your fingers will help spread the mixture more easily as the mixture will be slightly sticky.
  • Bake at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes just until firm to the touch but not golden.
  • In a small saucepan, add the unwrapped caramels and 1/2 cup whipping cream. Cook over medium to low heat, stirring often until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Remove from heat and add the Pecans. Stir well to coat the pecans with the caramel mixture.
  • Immediately spoon the caramel coated pecans over the crust.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the milk chocolate chips along and 1 tsp. unsalted butter. Stir constantly until melted.
  • Stir in 2 Tbsp. whipping cream and continue to stir to blend well.
  • Drizzle over the filling.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour prior to serving or until firm.
  • Cut into bars, serve and enjoy. You should be able to get about 24 bars.
