Pucker Up for Pecans
Your family will go nuts for this twist on the traditional pecan pie!
Prep time: 15 min.
Baking time: 60 min.
Decoration time: 10 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand MINIS®
- 1 bag DOVE® Brand Rich Dark Chocolate
- 1 piecrust (9-inch unbaked pre-rolled)
- 3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
- Aluminum foil
- Cookie sheet pan
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Unroll the piecrust onto a lightly floured surface 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.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until just golden. Remove the foil and continue baking for 3 minutes or until just beginning to golden. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cookie sheet and set on a wire rack to cool.
- Reserve 20 pecan halves for decoration. Roughly chop remaining pecans and combine with brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, eggs and salt. Chop 1 1/2 cups MILKY WAY® Brand MINIS® and add to the mixture. Pour into the slightly cooled tart pan, return to the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Melt 10 DOVE® Brand Rich Dark Chocolate in a microwave for 40 seconds. Remove and stir until smooth. Spread a chocolate circle in the center of the tart. Place one MILKY WAY® Brand MINIS® in the center of the tart and arrange the reserved pecan halves around the chocolate circle. Serve with whipped cream.
