“This is hands down the best pecan pie—it’s so good, it’s scary!” writes Dorothy Reinhold of Malibu, California. “I’m making it for Thanksgiving because there will be others around to share it with me. “Here’s the trick: Toss the bag of caramels to your kid or spouse and promise they can eat whatever is left after they unwrap your 36 caramels.”

First time I make pecan pie, this is my boyfriend's favorite pie. Both him and my daughter loved it! I'm definitely making it again! It was a big hit at the Christmas party!

Absolutely delicious, and so very easy to make. This is going to become a holiday staple. I might make another for Christmas.

I've made this pie several times and it is a family favorite now. We have it every year at Christmas now. A bit rich but I've never had a better pecan pie!

This pecan pie really is the best. I've made different kinds of pecan pies--the traditional, ones with chocolate, etc., and this one is by far my favorite. Ever since I discovered this recipe, I've been making it every year for Thanksgiving. It's SO easy, and it's really good and rich. I LOVE it! Definitely gotta try this!

This is the 3rd time I've made this pie - the kids beg for it! I'm happy to oblige since tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I don't really care for pumpkin pie

Quick and easy version of pecan pie minus the traditional corn syrup! Aside from the caramels, most cooks have these ingredients in their cupboards. Taste is good and unique. I'd make it again.
