Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Rutabaga on December 05, 2016

    I really liked the concept of this pie, but the final product needs some tweaks. The caramel filling is incredibly sweet. Fortunately, the unsweetened pretzel crust and the dark chocolate ganache helped cut the sweetness, but in my opinion it still wasn't enough. It's the honey that does it. I used a clover honey, as that's what I had on hand, but a darker, deeper honey would likely be a much better fit. Even with only half a cup of honey, I found it overwhelming. Plus, it was very goopy and gooey, even once set. With a firm, more nuanced caramel filling, this pie could really be great.
