\"slice\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Last summer we sent an email about kitchen tools<\/a> and, as a side note, included some incredibly tasty pie recipes from UG team members. After reading the email, I shared my “hillbilly caramel pie” process (it just doesn’t deserve to be called a recipe) with the creative team. It’s safe to say they were baffled, slightly disgusted and very intrigued.<\/p>\n

In the past year, the legend of the “pie” was mentioned now and again, but it wasn’t until Tuesday that I decided to blow some minds by purchasing some cans of condensed milk – the key (and almost the only) ingredient in this delicious dessert. World — it’s time to share my culinary secret with you. And I beg of you, do not look up the calorie count.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Caramel Pie Process:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 graham cracker crust
\n2 14 oz. cans of sweetened condensed milk
\n1 lg. tub Cool Whip
\n1\/2 c. mini chocolate\/peanut butter chips, optional
\n1\/2 c. chopped nuts, optional<\/p>\n

1. Remove label from milk cans and boil cans on high for 4 hours covered completely in water.<\/p>\n

2. Take cans out of water after boiling and let completely cool.<\/p>\n

3. Pour caramel from cans into pie crust and place in refrigerator.<\/p>\n

4. When ready to slice, add Cool Whip and sprinkle nuts and\/or mini chocolate or peanut butter chips on top for decoration and extra deliciousness.<\/p>\n

5. Thank me later.<\/p>\n
