     Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9S x 13S pan. In heavy
 sauce pan, combine caramels and 1/3 C evaporated milk. Cook on low heat,
 stirring until caramels melt and set aside.
     In large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, butter, 1/3 C evaporated
 milk, and pecans. By hand, stir until dough holds. Press 1/2 of dough into
 prepared pan: reserving remaining dough for topping. Bake at 350 degrees
 for 6 minutes. Then sprinkle chocolate bits over crust and spread caramel
 mixture over bits. Crumble reserved dough over caramel mixture. Return to
 oven and bake 15 to 18 minutes. Cool slightly; then refrigerate at least 30
 minutes. Paula
