A fantastic summer pie since it's no bake. Used nonfat evaporated milk and it was great. An awesome recipe!

From Woman's Day Oct. 2005. Made this for a holiday gathering and itz sooooooo good! I think it also needs a thicker caramel layer. It was like eating a giant Rolo :)

I saw this recipe a few years ago in a magazine. I tore the page out but have since lost it. I was so glad to see it here. I always stock my kitchen with these ingredients so I can whip one up when there is unexpected company or when I just have a craving for chocalate!

This pie is definitely the ultimate chocolate decadent dessert, so rich and luscious, you saved me the trouble of posting it and I hope everyone who vaguely likes chocolate tries it. It is so incredibly delicious.
