Caramel Pecan Pie image

This is hands down the best pecan pie-it's so good, it's scary! I'm making it for Thanksgiving because there will be others around to share it with me. Here's the trick: Toss the bag of caramels to your kid or spouse and promise they can eat whatever is left after they unwrap your 36 caramels. -Larry Crowder, Grand Blanc, Michigan
