1) Use a regular 9-in. pie plate (not a foil pan, as they are smaller). 2) Use the Smuckers fat-free caramel topping. Other Smuckers products or other brands may not produce the same results / you need a deep dish pie crust /

I poked holes in the cake after baking and poured the sauce right on the cake / Didn’t have any day old bread so I bought a loaf of French and diced it up. Zaped for a couple of min. in microwave to remove the moisture.

The first time I made it I used chocolate Ovaltine (not the regular Ovaltine, but chocolate flavored because that was what I had on hand. The second time I used chocolate Nesquik (with 25% less sugar). Also used splenda granular instead of sugar and lite nondairy creamer. Since I like my chocolate drinks ‘strong’, I used about 2/3 cup of water rather than 3/4.

Use basically any creamer

Don’t spray cooking spray after coated

I added dry basil leaves instead of fresh just because I didnt have it on hand and it was GREAT!

I used crushed Ritz crackers instead of cornbread crackers. For those that think it may be bland, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on. / I added 3 cups of ham in it

I used ritz crackers instead of saltines
