- 2 store bought graham cracker pie crusts
Instructions

- Carefully top each pie with the cooled pecan and coconut mixture.
- Drizzle the entire jar of caramel topping over both pies.
- For the best results, refrigerate or freeze the pies for at least 3 to 4 hours. They cut more easily when frozen.

Notes
Use Fresh Pecans: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality pecans. Toasting them slightly enhances their nuttiness.
Caramel Consistency: If your caramel is too thick, warm it slightly before mixing. If too runny, let it cool a bit to thicken.
No-Bake Option: For a no-bake version, use a graham cracker or cookie crust and chill the pie until set.
Creamy Variation: Adding cream cheese to the filling creates a smooth, tangy contrast to the sweet caramel.
Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge for better flavor development.
Serving Tip: Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
