At a church fund-raiser, I purchased a pie-a-month package furnished by a local family. From among all the varieties they made, this one was the best, with its chocolate crust, creamy caramel filling and fluffy topping.

Ingredients

30 caramels
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons water
1 chocolate crumb crust (9 inches)
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3 tablespoons hot water
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Chocolate hearts or curls, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, add the caramels, butter and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until caramels are melted. Spread over crust; sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; spread over caramel layer. Refrigerate.
In a large saucepan, melt chocolate chips with hot water over low heat; stir until smooth. Cool slightly.
Fold in whipped topping. Spread over cream cheese layer. Garnish with chocolate hearts or curls if desired. Chill until serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

EXCELLENT pie. I use oreos and butter to make my chocolate crust. Otherwise I make no changes. It's rare for me to not change a recipe! I have made this several times. Definitely recommend it!!! It has several textures and amazing overall taste.

Super good! Love the different flavors and textures, salty, sweet, crunchy, smooth. I make it pretty often.

It was very tasty, however it was very hard to cut through the caramel.

This pie was amazing! It tasted just the way I thought it would. The caramel was nice and creamy and not hard at all. My only complaint is that I didn't get a chance to take a slice home because it was all gone! (Just FYI the picture makes the whipped topping look pink but it comes out a medium brown.) I will definitely make this pie again!
