Steps:

• The pie crust is the pre made oreo crust. Caramels are a bag of Kraft caramels unwrapped. I use real butter and real vanilla.
• Toast pecans to bring out the flavor. Watch carefully, not to burn. In oven at 350 or on stove in a cast iron skillet.
• Melt caramels, 1/4 c butter and 1/4 c water- low heat- stir often.
• Mix eggs, beaten well w/ sugar, salt and vanilla.
• Remove caramel from heat and add in nuts then sugar mixture. Stir well and pour into crust. This will totally fill crust. Have crust on a cookie sheet.
• I bake at 300 for about 30-35 minutes. Will be a little jiggly- sets up more when cool.
