Hi everyone. I came across this recipe.. as a former foodie I am always looking for ways to enjoy more food. I have not made it yet and I am counting on there being such a thing as gluten free carmel or I will make my own!!

Ingredients:

3 Cups Pecan pieces, divided

1/4 Cup sugar

1/4 Cup Butter

1 bag of Kraft caramels or whatever is gluten free (help all you wise people are they all gluten-free?)

2/3 Cup whipping cream, divided

1 pkg (8 squares) Baker's (is this gluten-free?) Semi Sweet baking chocolate

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp gluten-free vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place 2 cups of pecans in food processor, cover, process until finely ground. Mix in sugar and butter, whiz a couple times to combine.. press firmly into 9 inch pie plate. Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely. If crust puffs up, gently presee down with back of spoon.

Microwave caramels and 1/3 cup of the whipping cream 2-4 mins until completely melted stir after each minute in microwave. Pour into crust Chop remaining 1 cup of pecans and sprinkle on caramel.

Place chocolate, remaining whipped cream, the powdered sugar and vanilla in saucepan, cook on low, stirring constantly until completely melted. Pour over pie, spread evenly to cover top of pie, refrigerate at least 2 hours.. store left overs in frige.

Hi everyone. I came across this recipe..

Traci, I just had to say how much I enjoy your messages!! Keep them coming.

You always have something interesting to say and put a cute funny twist to it. I like your humor!

I will try the recipe also. When I first found out I Had Celiac, I couldn't believe I'd never have pie again. Then I found all the typical gluten-free pie crust and thought "it's not worth all that trouble" but have been finding more of the pecan or other nut based crust and have decided to try one. Wish me luck and thanks for sharing. granny

Thank you Granny. Let me know if you make this before I do how it goes...

Funny thing.. I never like pie crust.. now I am just mad I cannot have it. I have a coconut cream someplace too, you use coconut for the crust. I will have to dig thru my mounds of recipes.
