Heat the oven to 450 degees. Pre a pie crust according to package
directions for unfilled 1-crust pie, using 10-inch tart pan with removable

necessary. Generously prick crust with fork. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or
until light golden brown. Cool completely.
In medium saucepan, combine caramels and 1/2 cup whipping cream; cook over
low heat until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring
occasionally. Remove from heat. Add pecans; stir well to coat. Spread
evenly over cooled, baked crust.
In small saucepan over low heat, melt margarine and chocolate chips,
stirring constantly. Add 1 tablespoon whipping cream; stir until well
blended. Drizzle over pecan filling. Refrigerate 1 hour or until filling is
firm. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream, if desired. Makes 12 servings.
