Ingredients

60 reduced-fat vanilla wafers, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
1/3 cup chopped pecans
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1-3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 pkg. (1 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Sugar Free Fat Free Instant Pudding
1/2 cup milk
1 cup thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping
12 KRAFT Caramels
1 Tbsp. water

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Crush 10 wafers coarsely; place in medium bowl. Reserve for later use. Finely crush remaining wafers; mix with 1/3 cup butter. Press onto bottom of 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
Add remaining butter, nuts, sugar and 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice to reserved crumbs; mix well. Spread onto bottom of shallow pan; place in oven along with the tart crust. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until both are light golden brown; cool.
Beat Neufchatel and pumpkin in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Add remaining pie spice and dry pudding mix; beat until blended. Gradually beat in milk; spread over crust. Top with COOL WHIP, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edge. Refrigerate 4 hours. Meanwhile, break nut mixture into smaller pieces; store in airtight container until ready to use.
Run knife around tart to loosen from rim of pan just before serving; remove rim. Sprinkle nut mixture over tart. Microwave caramels and water in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until caramels are melted, stirring after 45 sec. Drizzle over tart.
