Number Of Ingredients 5

In addition to the contents of
the jar, you will need to add
the following ingredients:
1/2 cup melted butter, slightly cooled
1 jar (11.75 ounces) caramel topping

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the chocolate chips and pecans from the jar, and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs with the melted butter. Transfer the mixture to an ungreased 9-x-9-inch baking pan, and use the back of a fork to press firmly over the bottom and sides of the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and pecans evenly over the crumb mixture. Cook the caramel topping in a microwave oven for 1 1/2 minutes on high power, or cook on a conventional stovetop over low heat until thin in consistency. Drizzle the topping over the chocolate chips and pecans and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are light brown. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cut into bars and serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
