I am not your wonderful gourmet cook or baker, but I love to try new easy recipes and I collect cookbook….go figure!
This pie was easy and so rich.
3 cups pecan pieces, divided
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter ( melted)
1 bag (14oz.) caramels
2/3 cup whipping cream (divided)
1 pkg (8 squares)semi sweet baking chocolate
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 2 cups of the pecan pieces in food processor or blender..process until finely ground. Mix with sugar and butter. Press firmly into bottom and up sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
Microwave caramels and 1/3 cup of whipping cream in bowl on High for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Stir until completely melted. Pour on crust. Chop remaining 1 cup pecans; sprinkle over caramel layer.
Place chocolate, remaining whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a saucepan; cook on low heat just until chocolate is completely melted, stirring constantly. Pour over pie; gently spread to evenly cover top of pie. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.
10 servings
This pie is very rich, so I reduce the size of each slice.
I bought some purple hyacinths yesterday for the patio….soon they will look like this.
We also bought another tomato plant, one of ours got a little frost biten and some cilantro.
See Y’all

Hi, Barbara,
I found your blog from BJ's and had to come visit, too. I'm from Abilene, TX, so it's great to meet another Texan! I have to admit, though, that I'm not sure where Jewett is located. In fact, I've never even heard of Jewett.
My brother in law has a pecan orchard, so I've got a freezer full of pecans and I can't wait to try out this recipe!! I'll probably make it this weekend.
This is a busy time for me (tax season), so I'm not posting as many blogs, but would love to have you come visit.
Hugs,
Cyndy

Oh.My.Word! My mouth is watering. Please pass me a small piece. No matter how much I beg, don't let me have more. That sounds delish. It has all my favorite ingredients too...pecans, butter, caramel, heavy cream and chocolate. Oh, I'm so hungry now. Thanks alot you bad girl!!
