Miss. Hope's White Trash Pudding

1 pre-made fresh pecan pie (you can buy one from the bakery instead of making)
1 large container of Cool Whip
1 small container of Cool Whip (you can use fat-free or extra creamy)
1/4 cup of finely chopped pecans
Caramel (the kind that comes is the squirt bottle for ice cream)

In a large mixing bowl, dump the pecan pie. Using your hands...mix until like a pile of goo.
**note...utensils won't mix well enough...gotta use the hands

Mix in the creamy Cool Whip until it turns a caramel color. Then mix in the large container of Cool Whip.

Pour in a serving bowl and smooth.

Use left over Cool Whip on top to give it a nice white look.

Sprinkle pecans sparingly on top.

Use caramel to make criss-cross or zig-zag designs. You could even write someones name if you like.

This recipe came for my good friend Hope...She says take this on to a get-together and refuse to divulge the ingredients. Everyone loves it and best of all...it's easy!

I use a spatula to mix in the cool whip with the pie. Use an entire small cool whip and approx 1/2-3/4 of the large cool whip. I like to put the leftover white cool whip on top because it throws people off when they hit the caramel color.

And you seriously have to moosh it with your hands. I've tried using utensils. Not the same effect. Bonus? You get to lick your fingers.

This really makes me regret that we can't have nuts anymore (allergy). This sounds great.

OK I'm posting on my own blog. This is a new "favorite find". It is some kind of good people. What more in a dessert recipe could you ask far then a "no bake" one.....
