It was a dessert potlucky and I knew there would be a lot of brownies and cookies. There always is so I decided to make something different – a pie! My husband is a big pecan pie fan so I decided to dress up a pecan pie with some salted caramel and dark chocolate. All I can say is it looks good and tastes good on a pecan pie! The first step is to make a yummy salted caramel sauce which is what holds your pie together and is used to drizzle over the top of the baked pie when serving. This salted caramel sauce combined with pecans and dark chocolate makes for an amazing pie. Use a fine texture sea salt for your caramel sauce. I was in a little bit of a time crunch so I used a store bought pie crust but making your own would be so much better. I’ve got a great perfect pie crust tutorial for you to follow. It really does make a perfect pie crust every time! You’ll want to use a 9″ pie pan. Be sure to cover the edges of your crust with foil or a pie crust shield to prevent the edges of your crust from burning. I remove the pie crust shield half way throught the baking process so it can brown up. Let the pie cool on a cooling rack. Then cut yourself a nice slice of pie, drizzle it with some additional salted caramel sauce. and then just add a fork!
