Easy Chocolate Caramel Pie

I found this recipe over the weekend online. (http://www.womansday.com/Recipes/No-Bake-Chocolate-Truffle-Pie) I wanted to make a dessert for company but didn't want to bake anything. This is the perfect dessert, and so GOOD! I modified it a little bit:

Ingredients

1 small package sliced almonds

17 caramels

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tbs. butter

1/4 cup evaporated milk

1 ready made chocolate pie crust

1.5 cups chocolate chips (I used dark because we had it)

1 cup of heavy cream

1. Toast the almonds for a few minutes in the toaster oven or stove-top. Remember to stir them periodically... I burned half of mine!

2. While the almonds toast, melt the caramels in a medium sauce pan on med-low heat and add the 1/4 cup of evaporated milk until smooth. Add the vanilla at the last second.

3. Pour the almonds over the pie crust, and then the caramel sauce.

4. Clean the sauce pan and mix the chips, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until glossy and smooth on low heat.

5. Once the chocolate is done, pour it over the caramel! Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

**I used the rest of the cream to make whipped cream for the top. Enjoy!
