Wow! You'll love this "confection in a crust." So unbelievably easy-so irresistibly delicious.
1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (1 crust)
FILLING
36 vanilla caramels, unwrapped
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 1/2 cups pecans halves
TOPPING
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon margarine or butter
1 tablespoon whipping cream
Heat oven to 450°F. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for ONE-CRUST BAKED SHELL using 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom or 9-inch pie pan. Place prepared crust in pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges if necessary. Generously prick crust with fork. Bake at 450°F. for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely.
In medium heavy saucepan, combine caramels and 1/2 cup whipping cream; cook over low heat until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add pecans; stir well to coat. Spread evenly over cooled baked shell.
In small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips with margarine, stirring constantly. Add 1 tablespoon whipping cream; stir until well blended. Drizzle over pecan filling. Refrigerate 1 hour or until filling is firm. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream, if desired. Store in refrigerator.
