Recipe - Chocolate-Caramel Pecan Squares

12 Graham crackers; double
2 pack (7 oz) chocolatecovered
caramel candies; (about 50
pieces)
1/3 cup Heavy cream
1 One half cup Pecans; toasted, chopped *

In the South, they have a knack for taking something great, and making it
taste even better. Here's how they do it with their native
favorite...pecans. Wis/Gramma

Completely cover the bottom of a 10x15inch rimmed cookie sheet with the
graham crackers; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, heat and stir the candies
and cream over low heat, until the candies melt. Spread the chocolate
mixture over the graham crackers; quickly sprinkle with the nuts, gently
pressing them into the chocolate. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then cut into
bars or break into chunks like brittle. Serve immediately, or store in an
airtight container until ready to serve.

NOTE If you don't buy the pecans already toasted: Spread out the pecans on
a cookie sheet, and bake them at 350 degrees just until lightly browned
(keep an eye on them, it doesn't take long).
