The Easiest Dessert You Will Ever Make!

(I couldn't think of another name.)

 

 

Ingredients:

- one box of Ritz crackers

- one can of condensed milk

- half a cup of chocolate chips

- one package of Chipits Skor Toffee Bits (this is what the package looks like)

 

Directions:

1) Crush the crackers up (not into dust, but into pretty small pieces).

2) Combine all of the ingredients (crushed up crackers, condensed milk, chocolate chips, toffee bits) in a bowl. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top, if you want.

3) Pour mixture into a greased 9x11 inch pan (or something similar) and cook in the oven. I put mine in at 350 for 15 minutes, but your oven might be different. Keep an eye on it and take it out when the edges get golden brown/cooked.

4) Let it cool and then cut into pieces.

 

Enjoy! Let me know what you think if you try this!

I only taste a bit of salt when there is a bigger chunk of cracker. I find the crackers are there more for texture. The Ritz cracker crust sounds so interesting!

it's not the crust, it's the inside of it

here is the recipe:

 

Mock Apple Pie a la Ritz

Pastry for two-crust 9-inch pie

30 to 36 Ritz crackers, coarsely broken up (about 1 3/4 cups)

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

2 cups water

2 cups sugar

Grated rind of one lemon

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 

1. Place sugar, cream of tartar and water in saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer for 15 minutes. Add grated lemon rind and lemon juice. Allow to cool.

 

2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

 

3. Roll out half the pastry and line a 9 inch pie plate. Place coarsely-broken cracker crumbs in pie crust. Pour cooled syrup over crackers. Dot with butter or margarine and sprinkle with cinnamon.

 

4. Roll out remaining pastry; place over pie. Trim, seal and flute edges. Slit top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 F for 30-35 minutes or until crust is crisp and golden. Cool completely before serving.

Pecan Pie (since Wonka asked )

 

 

This is the classic recipe -- I also have one for chocolate pecan pie, but

I think you have to have the original before you can try a variation

 

* 1 cup Light OR Dark Corn Syrup

* 3 eggs

* 1 cup white sugar

* 2 tablespoons butter, melted

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans

* 1 (9-inch) unbaked or frozen deep-dish pie crust

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

 

2. Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust. (Note: If using prepared frozen pie crust: Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake pie on preheated cookie sheet.)

 

3. Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes. Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving. Note: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan. If pie crust is overbrowning, cover edges with foil.

 

I think the hardest part for some of you non US residents might be finding

the pecans and corn syrup -- not sure how available those are for you.

Whenever i urge for pecans i look for it in a gourmet store nearby....so i guess every gourmet store must have them....

As for the corn syrup i'll ask them about it...

 

I'll try it this weekend, it looks delish...

That's right, it's easy to find pecans, but we don't actually use corn syrup here. Is it similar than basic syrup made from sugar? And I always make pie crust myself, we don't often use ready-made/frozen (and I need it gluten-free in any case).

 

Thanks Deb, need to bake during the weekend

No such thing is produced in Portugal, so they have to import it....

 

I will, thanks!

[Christine]

Oh I was in Georgia in October and I made a point of having some pecan pie.

 

If you like pecan pie, you might want to try buttertarts (which can also be made with pecans or walnuts). It uses brown sugar as well as corn syrup and because the tarts are individual servings you can leave the centre gooey which I love.

My oncle and aunt are coming over from Canada (Brampton, near Toronto) in May. And guess what they will bring me? A large bottle of Maple Syrup! We can get it here in the supermarket, but it's very expensive! We pay about 7 euro's for small bottle of 150 ml.! That's about 10 Canadian dollars!

I always love it when they come over!
