Instructions

Step 1
Unroll 1 pie crust onto work surface. Sprinkle with sea salt; press into crust. Make and bake pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie plate. Cool completely.

Step 2
In 2-quart saucepan, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, butter and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes together into a very thick gel. Cool slightly. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Spread Turtle Layer in baked shell. Refrigerate.

Step 3
In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and caramel sauce with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over turtle layer. Refrigerate pie 2 hours.

Step 4
To make Pie Crust Turtles, heat oven to 450°F. Unroll 1 pie crust onto cutting board. Cut out stars using star-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 candy in center of each star; pinch together sides of each star to form little purse (allow ends of star to bend over to outside edges). Top each with pecan half. Bake 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

Step 5
To serve, garnish pie with additional whipped topping and caramel sauce. Top with pie crust turtles. Store in refrigerator.
