    1 1/2  sticks        butter or margarine
    2      cups          sugar
    4                    eggs
    1      cup           flour
    1      package       caramels (14 oz) -- unwrapped
      1/3  cup           heavy cream
    2      cups          pecan halves

 Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease foil-lined 13 X 9 inch baking pan.
 
 Microwave chocolate squares and butter on high 2 minutes or until butter is
 melted.  Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
 Stir sugar into chocolate until well blended. Mix in eggs.  Stir in flour.
 Spread 1/2 of batter in prepared pan.
 
 Bake 25 minutes, or until batter is firm to the touch.
 
 Meanwhile, microwave caramels and cream on high 3 minutes or until caramels
 begin to melt.  Whisk until smooth.  Stir in 1 cup nuts.  Gently spread
