- Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the fudge over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
Prepare the Caramel Pecan Topping:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream.
- Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
- Stir in the toasted chopped pecans.
Assemble and Chill:
