Easy Caramel Pecan Fudge Pie

This delicious rich pie takes very little time to put together! I have made this pie on many occasions it is so good, just make certain that the pie is completely cooled or refrigerate until cold or it will not slice well. The crust/s may be made up to a week in advance and kept frozen. May I suggest, you better make two of these lol!
