kip's Notes:

This was originally a Pillsbury Recipe, using my own graham cracker crust. I made this along with my 2 daughters as a family cooking project and so far it has been the best tasting pie we have made.

Directions

Graham Cracker Crust:

Crush Graham Crackers into 1 1/2 cups of crumbs

preheat oven 375

In a small saucepan or microwave melt butter

In medium sized bowl or food processor, combine graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter; blend until the texture of coarse meal

Press into a 9-10 inch pie pan. Try to make the crust about 1/8th inch evenly all around.

Bake approx 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before filling.

Heavenly Caramel Pie:

In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the caramel topping and the chopped pecans. Spread mixture over bottom of cooled pie crust

In large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup of the caramel topping with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Fold in whipped topping just until blended (do not overmix). Spoon cream cheese mixture into pie crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set

Arrange pecan halves on top of pie; drizzle remaining 1/4 cup caramel topping over pie. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie
