Chocolate Caramel Bars

I made these today, and OMG, they are amazing.  This is another recipe out of the Better Homes and Gardens Book.  DELICIOUSNESS!

Chocolate Caramel Bars

1 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

1 cup flaked coconut

1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

2 tsp vanilla

20 vanilla caramels, unwrapped

2 table spoons milk

1 cup chocolate chips

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.

For the crust, place the flour, brown sugar, and butter into a food processor and pulse until it resembles small crumbs.  I just slightly soften my butter and mix it in my Kitchen Aid.

Press the crumb mixture into a 13x9x2 inch ungreased pan.  Bake at 350 for15 minutes.  Sprinkle pecans and coconut over the warm crust.

For filling, condensed milk and vanilla;  poor over the pecans and coconut.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the filling is set.  Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan combine the caramels and milk.  Cook and stir over medium - low heat until the caramels melt.  Drizzle caramel mixture over the filling.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips.  Cool completely.  Cut into bars.
