Chocolate Caramel Pecan Pie

This pie tastes just like a Snickers bar and is perfect to make the day before.

Ingredients:

  • 25 individually wrapped Kraft caramels

  • 2 tsp milk

  • 1 c. chopped, toasted pecans

  • 1 graham cracker pie crust

  • 1 pkg. (8 squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate

  • 1 8oz tub French Vanilla cool whip

Directions:

  1. Place caramels in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl.  Add milk.  Microwave on high 2 1/2 - 3 min or until caramels are completely melted (stir after every minute).  Stir in pecans and pour into pie crust.

  2. Microwave chocolate in medium-sized microwave-safe bowl on high 1 1/2 - 2 min. or until chocolate is melted (stir after every minute).  Add 2 c. cool whip; stir with whisk until well blended.  Spread evenly over caramel in crust.

  3. Refrigerate at least 2 hrs.  Let stand at room temp. 10-15 min. before serving.  Top with remaining cool whip, if desired.
