  • 15 caramels (unwrapped (like the ones by Kraft))
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • optional: additional caramel (pecans)

Instruction

  • Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in pumpkin, eggs and vanilla.
  • In another bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread half of the batter in a greased 9x13 inch pan.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, microwave caramels and heavy cream, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth. Pour caramel into pan.
  • Drop spoonfuls of remaining batter on top of caramel. Use a knife or spatula to gently spread the batter over the caramel. It's okay a few spots of caramel aren't completely covered.
  • Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool before cutting into bars. Top with additional caramel and nuts if desired. Enjoy!
