Serves: 8
Ingredients
for the crust
  • 10 graham crackers (about 4 oz)
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons butter, melted
for the caramel layer
  • 32 Kraft caramel squares, unwrapped
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 cup chopped roasted macadamia nuts
for the chocolate ganache
  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate
  • ½ cup cream
toppings
  • whipped cream
  • chocolate shavings
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Pulse the mixture until you get fine crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake the crust for 7-10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine caramel squares and ½ cup cream over low heat. Stir until smooth.
  4. Spread ¾ cup of the chopped macadamia nuts in the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the caramel sauce evenly over the nuts.
  5. In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate and remaining ½ cup cream. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until smooth and shiny.
  6. Pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer, then allow the pie to set up completely before serving. It will set up more quickly if you put it in the fridge.
  7. Serve slices topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and the remaining ¼ cup chopped macadamia nuts.
