• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• For the filling: Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow to soften slightly. Mix in the pecans, peanut butter cups and peanut butter crunch candy bars and pour the ice cream mixture into the crust. Cover with foil and freeze until very hard, 1 to 2 hours.
• For the caramel sauce: Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, while whisking gently, until thicker, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Pour the sauce into a jar and refrigerate until cold.
• To serve, cut slices of the pie and serve on individual plates with cold caramel sauce spooned over the top and sprinkled with pecans. Serve with extra caramel sauce on the side.

EASY CARAMEL PIE

Steps:

• 1. DO NOT OPEN THE CAN of sweetened condensed milk! Just remove the label and shake it up as well as you can. DO NOT OPEN THE CAN! Set it aside. Get 2 large pots and fill both with water. Make sure one pot will hold enough water to cover the top of the can of sweetened condensed milk completely by at least 1 inch. Place the UNOPENED can of sweetened condensed milk in the pot of water that completely covers the can by at least 1 inch. Bring both pots of water to a complete boil. Keep the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk covered at all times with boiling water from the other pot of boiling water. Refill boiling water pot as often as needed. Boil the can of sweetened condensed milk for exactly 3 hours (yes! 3 whole hours!). Make sure to keep the top of the can covered at all times with boiling water! If you don't, the can will explode! When you have boiled the can of sweetened consdensed milk for 3 hours, turn off both pots of water and carefully remove can from the water. Set on a folded towel or pot holder to cool completely (at least 4 to 6 hours). DO NOT OPEN THE CAN UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY COOL!!! Once the can has cooled, open can and using a spatula spread the caramel into the graham cracker crust. Spread the Cool-Whip on top of the caramel. Sprinkle with the topping of your choice (listed above). Put in freezer for at least 4 hours. Set out 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Store leftovers (if you have any!) in the freezer. The caramel is also great to spread between cake layers or on top of cupcakes too. Also great to heat up and drizzle over ice cream. You can boil several cans of unopened sweetened condensed milk at a time. Just make sure all cans of sweetened condensed milk stay covered at all times during the 3 hours the cans are boiling. Be sure to always have the other pot of boiling water to add to the pot as needed. Enjoy!

TAKE 5 CANDY BAR PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together the ground pretzels, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and chill until firm, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• For the caramel sauce: Whisk the sugar, water and corn syrup in a medium-size heavy saucepan until well combined. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. As it's coming to a boil, dip a pastry brush in water and brush down the sides of the pot to remove any sugar stuck to the sides. Cook the sugar mixture, without stirring, until it becomes a rich caramel color, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the warmed cream until the caramel sauce is smooth, using caution as the mixture may bubble up. (If the sauce seizes, stir it over low heat until the hardened caramel is melted.) Whisk in the butter and set aside.
• For the pie: Carefully smooth the warmed peanut butter evenly over the bottom of the pretzel crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the peanut butter layer and gently spread with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the caramel layer. Refrigerate for another 10 minutes, if necessary. Finish with a smooth layer of melted chocolate. Refrigerate the pie until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes. Pie can then remain at room temperature until serving.
