- Immediately spread evenly over hot crust.
- Drizzle caramel topping evenly over pecan mixture.
- Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until caramel is bubbly in center.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips and salt.
- Cool pan on cooling rack for 30 minutes.
- Place pan uncovered in refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until chocolate chips are set.
- Lift from pan by parchment edges.
