This is SOOOO good! I even served it to my husbands ex wife! LOL I made it as directed the first time, the next time, I doubled the recipe and did it in a 9X13 pan, with the crust just on the bottom and cut into little squares for serving. An absolute hit!

spectacular dessert -you'd never guess that these simple ingredients produce such a wonderfully delicious result. this is actually a 3 textured pie. the top has an almost candy taste, the filling is like caramel, the bottom is dense and chocolatey. i think this is one of the best taste treats i have ever made and i highly recommend this. i was out of chocolate chips so i substituted with white chocolate. otherwise followed the recipe. TY.
