Cut cakes horizontally in half; stack on plate, spreading 1/3 of the caramel mixture between each layer.

Microwave remaining Cool Whip and chocolate in microwaveable bowl 2 min. or until blended, stirring after each minute. Cool 10 min. Spread over torte, allowing excess glaze to drip down side. Sprinkle with nuts.
