Source  McCormick
Recipe Added:  12/21/2011
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 14-oz pkg caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Set aside. Mix brown sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and pecans in bowl until blended. Add flour mixture; mix well. Reserve 1 cup of batter. Spread remaining batter into lightly greased foil-lined 13x9 baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until firm.

Microwave caramels and milk in bowl on High 2-3 minutes until completely melted, stirring after every minute. Cool 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over baked layer in pan, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges. Drop reserved 1 cup batter by spoonfuls over caramel layer. Cut through batter with knife several times for marble effect. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until center is set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Lift from pan. Cut into bars.
Notes
Line pan with foil with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Use foil handles to remove baked dessert from pan. Place on cutting board and cut into bars.
