Chocolate-Caramel Sticky Buns

Preparation Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except Caramel Topping, pecans, 2 Tbsp. margarine, and Chocolate Chip Filling in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycles. Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface. Make Caramel Topping. Sprinkle pecans over topping in pan. Roll or pat dough into a 15- x10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread 2 Tbsp. margarine over dough. Make Chocolate Chip Filling; sprinkle over margarine. Roll dough up tightly, beginning at 15-inch side; pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Stretch and shape roll to make even. Cut roll into fifteen 1-inch slices. Place slightly apart in pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) Heat oven to 350°F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until dark brown. Immediately turn pan upside down onto a heatproof serving platter. Let pan remain over buns for 1 minute; remove pan. Serve buns warm. Caramel Topping:
