No-Stick Cooking Spray
5 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1/4 cup butter
1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 (7.4 oz.) packages Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix
2/3 cup chopped pecans
48 foil-wrapped chocolate covered caramel candies, unwrapped

Heat oven to 350F. Coat large baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Microwave chocolate and butter in uncovered large microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in sweetened condensed milk. Stir in muffin mix until completely blended.

Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Dip bottoms into pecans. Place on baking sheet with nut side up, 2 inches apart. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or just until cookies look slightly crackled and centers are still soft. Immediately press a caramel candy into center of each cookie. Remove to wire rack. Swirl caramel candy gently with knife while candy is warm, if desired. Cool completely.
