Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan; grease and flour foil.

Combine sugar, butter and water in medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Remove from heat; immediately add 1 cup (250 mL) chocolate chips, stirring until melted. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; stir into chocolate mixture. Spread batter in prepared pan.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Meanwhile, prepare Caramel Topping. Remove brownies from oven; immediately and carefully spread with caramel topping. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup (250 mL) chocolate chips and pecans over topping; lightly press into topping. Cool completely in pan on wire rack, being careful not to distrub chips while soft. Lift out of pan; cut into bars.

Caramel Topping: Remove wrappers from 25 caramel candies. Combine 2 tbsps (30 mL) butter or margarine, caramels and 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk in medium microvave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 minute; stir. Microwave an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Use immediately.
