    INGREDIENTS
    1⁄2 cup pecan pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped
    One 6-oz ready-to-fill chocolate-flavored crumb crust
    Caramel Layer
    17 individually wrapped square caramels (5 oz, 3⁄4 cup), unwrapped
    1⁄4 cup canned evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
    Truffle Layer
    11⁄2 cups (9 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
    1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
    3 Tbsp stick butter
    Decoration: slightly sweetened whipped cream

    Recipe



    1. Sprinkle pecans on crust.

    2. Caramel Layer: Put caramels in a bowl with the evaporated milk. Microwave (see Tip), stirring every 10 seconds, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over pecans.

    3. Truffle Layer: Heat chocolate chips, cream and butter in a bowl in the microwave, stirring every 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over Caramel Layer. Refrigerate about 4 hours until set.

    4. To serve: Pipe or spoon whipped cream around edge of pie.

    Tip: You can also melt the caramels with the evaporated milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often until smooth. The chips can be melted the same way.
