  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy. Mix in pudding mix. 
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract. 
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. 
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, caramel bits, and pecans evenly. 
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
