This pie was very good. I made it for my co-workers around Christmas and everyone loved it. It was also very easy to make. We loved every part of it.

Very rich dessert, but I am a chocoholic! Loved it!

I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and made this in a square baking dish and cut it into bars. I agree with some of the other reviewers comments that the chocolate is over powering. A small bar was really enough, and I LOVE rich chocolately desserts! I would have liked more of the caramel flavor. I think next time I will either use milk chocolate, or one and a half the caramels and cut the amount of chocolate in half. I'm not a big fan of pecans, but the pecan crust is really good. I'll be running extra miles on the treadmill thanks to this recipe!

I made this for dessert at Christmas. Everyone loved it. Even someone who hates pecans raved about how good this dessert is. The only thing I found is the chocolate is quite hard. I would warm a slice of it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds and it would be just fine.

This is the best turtle pie. I made it for the people at the salon I work at and they loved it. My house hold love it to. I will treat myself to it again when I loose about 60 lbs. Can't eat this when on a diet. I will make it again. Love It.
