Turtle Pie
Ingredients:
- 1/3 c Chopped pecans
- 1 Baked 9 inch pie shell
- 1/2 c Sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 c Brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 c Butter or margarine
- 2 tb Corn syrup
- 16 Pecan halves
- 2/3 c Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tb Butter or margarine
Instructions:
Sprinkle chopped pecans over bottom of baked pie shell. Combine next
4 ingredients in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir and bring to
boil. Keep stirring as it continues to boil for 5 minutes. Be careful
because it sticks to the bottom of the pan quite readily. Remove from
heat. Slowly beat with spoon about 2 minutes until it shows signs of
thickening; not too long or it will harden when cool. Carefully spoon
over chopped pecans. Visualize the pie being cut into 8 wedges. Now
place pecan halves around outside edge in upright position against
crust sothere will be 2 pecans in each wedge. These are the turtle's
feet. Push them down into filling so they stay upright. Cool. Melt
chocolate chips and butter in small saucepan over low heat. Spread
over pie. Chill. Makes 1 pie.
