Prepare
crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a
medium mixing bowl, combine crumbs, sugar,
butter and cinnamon. Blend until crumbly.
Reserve 1/3 cup of the crumbs to sprinkle on top
of the pie, if desired. Press remaining crumbs
evenly over the bottom and sides of a 9" pie
pan. Make a small rim along the top. Bake for 8
minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Set
aside to cool. |

Prepare
filling: In small bowl, soak gelatin in water.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, scald the milk.
Stir in candy, sugar and salt. Add egg yolks to
the milk mixture. Cook over a double boiler
until mixture coats the spoon. Stir in the
gelatin. Chill until syrupy. Fold the egg whites
into the chilled mixture. Pour into the crumb
crust. Chill until firm (about 3 hours). Serve
topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of the
reserved crumbs.
