Shut Your Mouth Caramel Pie!

So my new obsession, along with everyone else, is PINTEREST.
I find myself on it whenever I have a moment of free time. Between laundry, dishes, feedings and diaper changes, pinterest is my break!
 I think I've gained weight since having Molly because of all the
wonderfully awesome recipes I've found.

Do you know how to make caramel with ONE ingredient? Yes, only ONE!
You simply take a can of sweetened condensed milk, take off the label and sit the can on its side into a pot, fill pot with water and make sure it covers the can completely. Boil the can for 3 hours rotating on its side every 30 minutes. Make sure there is water covering cans at all time. After the 3 hours, remove can and let cool for atleast 1 hour before opening. And Viola! You've got caramel!

I decided since now that I know how to make caramel, I would mimic the Ooey Gooey Caramel Pie from O'Charley's that is soooo yummy!

What you need: A store bought Graham Cracker Pie Crust, 1 Tub of Cool Whip, 2 cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk (make into caramel), chopped pecans, and chocolate to make into shavings or mini chips.

Once you have boiled the milk cans, let cool for atleast 1 hour. Open cans and pour into pie crust. Refridgerate until cool. Top caramel with the cool whip, top with pecans and chocolate shavings. See pictures below!

And just think, this only has 100 caleries per slice!


JUST KIDDING! I wish.


 
 I was so amazed when I opened the cans!



The finished product



My slice of pie, it was DELICIOUS!
