As soon as the maniacs are asleep on Halloween, I rummage through their candy bags, “checking to make sure everything’s safe to eat”<\/em> and possibly stealing a few items to hide for myself.\u00a0 Among the little treasures, I like to look for those little individually wrapped caramel cubes.\u00a0 I love them!<\/p>\n

I have always loved them!<\/p>\n

I LOVE CARAMEL!<\/p>\n

My cousin Amy Lauren introduced me to this caramel pie one Thanksgiving that is sinfully delicious, as if you melted hundreds of those little cubes…without the torture of unwrapping each one of them.\u00a0 It’s SO STINKIN’ EASY!<\/p>\n

This is another 3 ingredient recipe.\u00a0 I’m sure you’re wondering if I ever cook real food anymore.\u00a0 I do, but I’m simplifying at this point…can you blame me? :)\u00a0 I actually cooked this lasagna<\/a> for dinner, which was a recommendation from a friend and it was delicious!\u00a0 Thanks Amanda!\u00a0 It was even more delicious followed by a big fat piece of CARAMEL PIE!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So here is the LONG list of ingredients…<\/p>\n

Graham Cracker Crust, 2 Cans of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, Cool Whip<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(You can make your pie low fat if that’s your thing.\u00a0 It’s not mine!\u00a0 You can use Fat Free or Low Fat Eagle Brand and Fat Free Cool Whip.\u00a0 If you’re hard core, you could even make your own graham cracker crust from Reduced Fat Graham Crackers.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Remove the paper from the Eagle Brand cans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Place the cans in a pot large enough to completely submerge the cans in water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Fill with water….enough to cover the tops of the cans plus some.\u00a0 Do not fill to the top of the pot.\u00a0 Bring to a low boil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cover and allow it to stay at a low boil for THREE HOURS!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>IMPORTANT NOTE:\u00a0 You will need to add water!\u00a0 Set your timer, so you don’t forget that these cans are boiling on your stove top.\u00a0 You will need to monitor it and add water a few times over the 3 hour period.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Carefully remove the cans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Place the cans on a towel and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.\u00a0 Don’t wait much longer or the caramel will start to set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Caution:\u00a0 These cans are HOT and the caramel is HOT and it does have a tendency to ooze HOT liquidy caramel once you open the can.\u00a0 I recommend using a can opener that removes the whole top and lip of the can, not the old school kind that punctures the top.\u00a0 The can opener that punctures the top does produce more oozing.\u00a0 Are you awed and impressed by my word choices?\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

You can see the oozing goodness below.\u00a0 Look at that beautiful, golden brown, caramel color!\u00a0 Can you believe how easy that was?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now just pour it into your pie shell and smooth.\u00a0 This pie was a little smoother before my spoon accidentally dove into the middle of the pie.\u00a0 I don’t know how <\/em>that happened!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Put it in the freezer for at least 3 hours.\u00a0 Remove from freezer, and top with Cool Whip.\u00a0 I forgot to take a picture of this stage.\u00a0 Use your imagination.\u00a0 I used about 1\/2 a container of Cool Whip.<\/p>\n

Cover the pie and place it back in the freezer until you’re ready to serve it.\u00a0 It is much better when it’s served cold.\u00a0 Oh it is just so smooth and caramel-y and good!<\/p>\n

How could this taste bad?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I mean, hello my lovely!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So add this easy, delicious dessert to your Christmas menu.\u00a0 You can thank me later.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n
