I made this pie for Thanksgiving this year instead of the traditional Pecan Pie. This was AMAZING - so yummy and pretty easy to make. I will definitely make this pie again!!

Amazing Pie! If you like sweets, this pie is for you. I made this for my husband's work Christmas party dessert contest and won first prize out of ten other desserts. I made this with a homemade graham crust. His co-workers are still talking about this recipe.

It was good, my only suggestion would be to not use as much chocolate as the recipe calls for, maybe 4 or 5 squares.

I loved this recipe, I did the suggestion to use a ready made graham pie crust for time and it was still awesome. The perfect gooey, chocolate dessert for any chocoholic like me!!!

My family requests this every year around the holidays. I found using a mini muffin pan makes the perfect size individual little pies. I serve them this year every year.

I attempted to make this, it turned out to be a disaster, the recipe asked for whipping cream and not being much of an experienced cook I purchased cool whip whipping cream, well I ended up throwing out the whole thing. The crust was a crumble after baking it, the caramel layer was so hard it would break your teeth and well when i added the whipping cream to the chocolate it turned to a solid, and wouldn't melt, boy did I went thru a lot of chocolate that evening. I'll probably try it again sometime since it looks really good, but not any time soon.
