Fat Ladies

I'm not a huge fan of the name of this recipe, but I do suppose it's pretty accurate...

Fat Ladies
1 roll chocolate chip cookie dough
10 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup half-and-half
35 caramels
1 cup pecans, chopped

While your oven is preheating to 350, if you have a willing participant, he or she can start opening the caramels...

In 9x13 dish, press cookie dough evenly on the bottom. Bake 12-14 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of cookie and return to oven until chips "melt." By now, your caramels are probably all unwrapped...So, combine half-and-half and caramels, and melt in microwave. Drizzle caramel mixture over the cookie. Sprinkle with pecans. Let cool. Put in refrigerator to firm. Cut into bars.
*Does not have to stay in refrigerator, just for setting purposes.*
