This luscious dessert has a chocolate crumb crust and caramel-pecan filling crowned with melted chocolate. It’s like a candy bar on a plate.

 

Ingredients

  • 30 vanilla caramels
  • 1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 2 bars Walker’s Chocolate dark chocolate pieces

  2. In a heavy medium saucepan, melt caramels in caramel ice cream topping over low heat, stirring often. Stir in the first 1/4 cup whipping cream. Remove from heat; stir in nuts. Spread over crust. Cool; cover and chill for 1 hour.
