             1   cup salted butter, softened
             1   cup powdered Sugar
             2   teaspoons vanilla Extract
             1   pint flour
         1 1/2   bags Kraft Caramel Bits (or 2 1/2 cups squares)
             3   tablespoons heavy cream
         1 1/2   pints Chocolate Chips, Milk Chocolate

     For the Crust:

     Preheat oven to 300
     Use a 9 x 13 pan....put parchment paper in the pan and spray it with cooking spray.
     In mixer--beat butter, sugar and vanilla, add the flour. 
     Place the crust in the pan.  Prick the crust all over with a fork--this allows steam to escape so the crust will bake evenly.  
     Bake until lightly golden brown on top and edges.  35 minutes or longer--takes longer in the airbake pan...didn't brown much 
     Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen the crust.
      Cool completely

     For the caramel layer:

     Melt the caramel and cream in a saucepan over low heat.
     Pour the caramel over the cooled crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

     For the Chocolate Layer:

     Melt the chocolate in the microwave using 10 second increments.  Pour over the caramel layer and spread it.
