Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and find a greased 9-inch fluted tart pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and cool completely.
  3. Melt the caramels with the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until silky smooth. Fold in the chopped pecans and pour into the cooled crust. Sprinkle with chopped Snickers.
  4. Bring extra heavy whipping cream to a boil, then pour it over semisweet chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for a minute and whisk until smooth. Spread topping over the pie.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the layers set.
  6. Slice with a warm knife and consider drizzling with caramel and extra Snickers for serving.
