1/2 c. vegetable oil

3 lg. eggs

1 (14 oz) pkg. caramels

1/4 c. milk

Beat cake mix and next 3 ingredients at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into a lightly greased 13 x 9 in. disposable aluminum pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 38-42 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Combine caramels and 1/4 c. milk in a glass bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2.5-3 minutes, stirring the mixture every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour half of the mixture over the baked cake. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans. Drizzle evenly with remaining caramel mixture. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares before serving.
