Instructions

1
Remove the cookies from their packaging. Reserve 4-6 of them to garnish the top of your pie later. Crush the rest into fairly fine crumbs (this WILL be messy and sticky because of the caramel).

2
Mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter until well blended . Press mixture into a 9-inch greased pie plate (you need more butter or shortening to grease it because the caramel from the cookies will make them stick to the pan!). You might want to flour or wet your hands first, because this business gets sticky.
