Caramel Pie
Ingredients
1 can of Eagle’s Brand sweetened condensed milk
1 frozen pie shell (not deep dish)
Cool Whip
Directions
Peel label off Eagle’s Brand milk and boil for 3 hours; do not open the can. Keep it fully covered with water. That will make milk caramelize.

Cream Cheese Squares
Ingredients
Crust:
1 box butter recipe cake mix
1 egg
1 stick soft butter
1 cup pecans (add at the end)
Topping:
1 box 10x confectioner sugar
3 eggs
1 soft 8oz square cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
For the crust: Mix everything together, add pecans at the end. Spread butter on a 10x 15 glass dish ( or something close). Put butter on your finger tips to make spreading the crust easier. Spread mixer evenly in dish.
For the topping: Mix it together and spread over crust evenly. Move rack in oven to one level above the middle. Bake between 300-350. Every oven is different. It is thick and time may be different. It should take 35-45 minutes. Once the top is light brown, I turn off the oven and leave the door cracked for 15 minutes or so.
