Easy Caramel Pecan Fudge Pie

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"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!"

SO DELICIOUS!! I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! I can't figure out if I love the chocolate crust or the pecan filling better! Very rich, but very good and very simple to make. Thanks for the great recipe- it will be a staple for my Thanksgiving desserts!

I have to agree. Two of these is a good idea. This went in no time flat when I made it for a family outing! Sweet and delicious served with a nice French Vanilla ice cream!

Thid is definitely a 5 star recipe. It is incredibly easy and absolutely delicious. I get rave reviews whenever I bring this to a party. I made one small change in the recipe. I press the crust crumbs in the bottom of an 8" Spring Form pan vs the pie plate. It looks like a torte when I remove the Spring Form pan. I serve it with a scoop of Vanilla icecream which makes it totally over the top. One of my favorite recipes!
