1

1/2

2

Preparation
Heat oven to 375°F. Make and bake cookies as directed on pouch for drop cookies. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
In food processor, process half of the cookies to coarse crumbs. Remove to medium bowl. Continue to process second half of remaining cookies to coarse crumbs; add to bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans and the melted butter until well blended. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, press cookie crumb mixture firmly in bottom. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1/2 cup of the caramel topping with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, scraping down side of bowl frequently. Beat in 2 cups of the whipped topping; stir in 1/2 cup of the toffee bits. Spread over cookie crust.
In medium bowl, beat dry pudding mixes and milk with whisk about 2 minutes or until thick. Spread over cream cheese mixture. Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls over pudding layer; spread carefully. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours until well chilled.
Before serving, transfer remaining 2 tablespoons caramel topping into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal, and cut one small corner off bag. Drizzle caramel on top of whipped topping layer. Sprinkle with remaining pecans, toffee bits and chocolate chips on top. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Cover and refrigerate any remaining dessert.
