1/2 cup  granulated sugar
1/2 cup  brown sugar
4  large eggs
1 tablespoon  vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups  flour
1 teaspoon  baking powder
1/2 teaspoon  baking soda
1 cup  chopped pecans
1 cup  white chocolate chips
1 cup  cream
1/2 cup  white cholocate chips
1/4 cup  granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon  maple extract
2 scoops  vanilla ice cream

Mix in flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Fold in white chocolate chips and nuts.

Grease a 9 by 13-inch glass pan and smooth top of mixture.

For Sauce.
Combine cream, chips and sugar in a saucepan and cook, constantly stirring, on medium heat until bubbly and thickened. Be careful not to burn sugary sauce.

Remove from heat and add maple flavoring. (extract will the darken the sauce slightly but it will still be fairly light colored.).
