Sweet Treat!
Chocolate Turtle Truffle Pie
1 chocolate wafer pie crust
1/2 c. chopped pecans -- sprinkle over pie crust.
Melt:
17-18 individually wrapped caramels
1/4 c. evaporated milk
Pour over pecans
Melt:
1 + 1/2 c. chocolate chips
3 T. butter
Pour over caramel
Top with a crushed up Heath Bar.
Chill several hours (I did overnight) but serve a room temperature. Serve with whipped cream.
NOTES: I got this recipe from my friend Pat. I had trouble with the chocolate seizing up when I melted it. I did the micro-method. Next time, I'll do it on the stove, stirring like a crazy lady. Still tasted as good. I also used fat free evaporated milk. I don't know why; there's enough in this to clog serious arteries!
I am going to try this sometime as a candy-like thing, making my own wafer crust and putting it in a 9x9 pan. It's very dense. And very delicious!

OMG!!! I think I've died and gone to Heaven! That looks and sounds so decadent, and just like something I'd love. I have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds great.....yummy....But unfortunately I want to lose some kilos until spring and spring officially begins at March 21, so I haven`t much time.....Perhaps I cook the cake after the 21st...psst....
ReplyDeleteI don't love baking, so how about I just come on over about 6 for a little slice and a cup of tea ?
ReplyDeleteps......YUM YUM YUM !
Someone gave me an ultra easy tidbit recently: a mini pretzel with a rollo candy melted onto it and a pecan on top. Sort of a turtle-like thing. This sounds like a superior way to do it.

ReplyDelete(What's a Heath bar.....I'm sure we have something like it, but what's in it?)
