this recipe is sinful, absolutely wonderful. took it to work , other girls told me there are similar recipes under the name of mississippi mud pie. but i will contiue to use this one. it was such a hit.

I double the cream cheese and powdered sugar - and WOW! Leave me alone with the leftovers (if any!) and the dish will be licked clean! I love this!

This is my mom's favorite dessert, which my ex-sister in law USED to make! I didn't have a recipe, but this one was perfect! Mom even said it was better than the ex-sister in law's! I thought crust would be harder-kind of crumbly to the touch. I was nervous that the first layer would mess it up, but it ended up working fine. An off-set spatula was very helpful in spreading the different layers! Might try the lemon version (mom said she'd had it before) for Mothers Day. Thanks for the recipe!

excellent for the holidays

So good and sinful! I increased the crust to 1 c. butter + 1.5 c. nuts + 1.5 cups flour and it was plenty to fill the bottom of a 9x13 pan. The crust is so good, you can't have too much of it! I tried the recipe once with 1 chocolate and 1 vanilla pudding, and again with 2 chocolate puddings, both were yummy. Also instead of chocolate shavings on top, I just set aside a few chopped nuts and sprinkle those on top. You can't go wrong with this recipe!

i've been looking for a chocolate pudding pie recipe for so long. i've always bought the store made version. this is twice as good! made this for my sister and brother for thanksgiving and knowing they like everything sweet, i substituted in a graham cracker crust instead. i also didn't use the vanilla pudding at all since i didn't have any on hand. but it was just as good! w/this recipe, it filled two nine inch pie pans.

Had to double the crust to make it fit 9 x 13 pan, but it was good. Not too much effort involved and our guests really liked it. Come to find out, they all make it with lemon pudding or butterscotch. I thought I had something new. Oh well, still good.

I made this for my sister's bridal shower. The other dessert was a lemon/blueberry cheesecake my mother made. Imagine my suprise when people told me they preferred my dish to my mother's! Simple and delicious!

My Aunt used to make this when I was a kid. She used butterscotch pudding. OMG, now I have to make this for the family. Thanks for sharing.

Very easy to make and incrediby yummy. You can interchange the pudding types for different tastes. Great dessert!

This was a real surprise. I was leary because I'm not big on pudding, but the combination of all the ingredients really made a fantastic dessert. I used pecans instead of walnuts and there wasn't a slice left! Easy and delicious!

I made this for my MIL for her bday (she loves RR, so it was kinda a joke). I did have a problem with the crust covering the bottom of the dish, but it was delicious and well received (: Thanks for the post!

Robert was truly one hot number in his prime, but now that we're both older, I think I'll take the pie. Decided to go with a graham cracker crust which worked beautifully with this incredibly delicious pie. So good and really pretty too with the chocolate shavings. Kids and hubby went wild over it. Thank you so much Nancy for submitting something special, yet something that I didnt' need to bake!!

This an old family favorite I had been looking everywhere for! Who would have thought this favorite dessert would be under this name? :) Oh yeah, FYI: My mom called it a 'Dandie'

The recipe is delicious but it needed a few adjustments for me. For one the crust could in no way cover a 9x13 pan no matter how hard I tried, so I moved it to a 8x8 pan and it was perfect, but I like a little thickness to my crust, especially this one as it is like a shortbread. The other thing was not to put whip cream in the cream cheese mixture because it really dilutes the flavor. Also, if you toast the nuts before adding them to the crust really makes a difference. Excellent end result!!!

My grandmother made this when I was little, and I have never met anyone who ever called it by the same name. I grew up thinking Robert Redford was just the name of a great dessert!! Thank you for all of the memories that came flooding back when I bit into this fabulous pie! I am forever grateful....
