   BASE
   ___ cup powdered sugar
   ___ cup margarine or butter, softened
   _ tablespoons whipping cream
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   _ cups all-purpose flour
   
   FILLING
   __ caramels, unwrapped
   ___ cup whipping cream
   ___ cup margarine or butter
   _ cup powdered sugar
   _ cup chopped pecans
   
   GLAZE
   ___ cup semisweet chocolate chips
   _ tablespoons whipping cream
   _ tablespoon margarine or butter
   ___ cup powdered sugar
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   __ pecans halves (2/3 cup), if desired


In large bowl, combine all base ingredients except flour; blend well. Stir in flour; mix well. If necessary, refrigerate dough for easier handling.

Heat oven to 325°F. On well-floured surface, roll half of dough to 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Using pastry wheel or knife, cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 325°F. for 12 to 16 minutes or until set. Cool on wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough.

In medium saucepan, combine caramels, 1/4 cup whipping cream and 1/4 cup margarine; cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup powdered sugar and chopped pecans. (Add additional whipping cream a few drops at a time, if needed for desired spreading consistency.) Spread 1 teaspoon of warm filling on each cookie square.

In small saucepan, combine chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons whipping cream and 1 tablespoon margarine; cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup powdered sugar and I teaspoon vanilla. Spread glaze over caramel filling. Top each cookie with pecan half.

TIP: To make bars, in large bowl, blend all base ingredients at low speed until crumbly. Press in bottom of ungreased 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Bake at 325°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool. Prepare filling as directed above; spread over base. Prepare glaze; drizzle over filling. Top bars with pecan halves, forming 8 rows of 6 pecans each. Allow glaze to set. Cut into bars.
