CINNAMON CARAMEL SWIRL BARS

1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, melted
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. coarsely chopped pecans (optional)
14 oz. pkg. caramels, unwrapped
1/4 c. milk

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in bowl. Set aside.
Mix brown sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, and pecans in large bowl until well blended. Add flour mixture; mix well. Reserve one cup of the batter. Spread remaining batter into a lightly greased 9x13-inch pan. (You can line with foil first, if you like.) Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until firm. Next, microwave the caramels and milk in microwavable bowl on high 2-3 minutes or until completely melted, stirring after every minute. Pour over baked layer in pan, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges. Drop reserved one cup batter by spoonfuls over caramel layer. Cut through batter with knife several times for marble effect. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until center is set. Cool.
