      3/4   c            Semisweet chocolate chips
 
   Preheat oven to 350oF. Lighlt grease an 8" square pan.
   In small saucepan, melt 1/4 c butter or margarine and
   chocolate over low heat. Set aside. In medium bowl,
   beat eggs until light. Beat in sugar, flour, salt and
   vanilla until blended. Stir in melted chocolate
   mixture; pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 15
   minutes.
   
   Meanwhile, prepare Caramel Sauce. In small saucepan,
   mix butter or margarine and brown sugar. Bring to
   boil, stirring constantly. Stir and simmer 1 minute.
   Remove brownies from oven and sprinkle evenly with
   pecans. Gently pour caramel sauce over brownies.
   Return pan to oven and bake 15 minutes longer, until
   caramel is bubbling.
   
   Remove brownies from oven and sprinkle with chocolate
   chips. As chocolate chips begin to melt, gently swirl
   with a knife. Cool completely before cutting. Chill to
   harden chocolate, if necessary.
