A friend a while back gave me this recipe after we had dinner at her house and she made this dessert. I had to have the recipe before we left for home. Oh my; what a great dessert. The only thing I changed in it was I added butterscotch chips. And Woody had me add a scoop of ice cream on top. We love it so much that I made it for Thanksgiving this year and it didn't last the weekend. It was so great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. MMMMMMMMM!!!!! I called my friend and told her how I changed her recipe just a little and she is going to try it my way next time she makes it.

  • Step 1
    Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 9 X 13 inch pan and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a bowl; cream together butter and brown sugar and add eggs, vanilla and pumpkin puree and mix until well blened.
  • Step 3
    Slowly add cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, soda and salt and mix well.
  • Step 4
    Spread about 2/3 of the batter into pan evenly.
  • Step 5
    Sprinkle chopped nuts and chocolate chips over the top of batter.
  • Step 6
    Place the caramels and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 20 minutes.
  • Step 7

  • Step 8
    Try to spread dollops of batter out; (it is ok if some of the caramel peaks through).
