• Prep Time: 15 min.
• Bake Time: 60 min.
• Decoration Time: 10 min.
• Difficulty: Easy
• Yield: Makes 12 servings.

• 1 pie crust (9-inch unbaked pre-rolled)
• 1 ½ cups pecan halves
• 1 cup chopped MILKY WAY® Bars
• ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream, optional
• 6 pieces DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolate
• Aluminum foil
• 1 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
• Cookie sheet pan

• 1. Unroll the pie crust and fit into the tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and turn up sides, trimming the excess dough. Cover the dough with a sheet of foil.
• 2. Bake in a preheated, 350°F oven for approximately 12 minutes until just golden. Remove the foil and continue baking for 3 minutes. Transfer to a cookie sheet and set on a wire rack to cool.
• 3. Reserve 20 pecan halves for decoration. Roughly chop remaining pecans and combine with MILKY WAY® Bars, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, eggs and salt. Pour into the tart pan, return to the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• 4. Melt 5 DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolates in a microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir until smooth. Spread a chocolate circle in the center of the tart. Place remaining chocolate in the center of the tart and arrange the reserved pecan halves around the chocolate circle. Serve with whipped cream.
