I had a heck of a time with this pie -- it's not the pie's fault though. I know I had a whole box of baker's chocolate, but I couldn't find it, so I sent my boyfriend to the store. Then, I realized he had used up all the milk the night before, so back to the store he went! When I mixed the melted chocolate into the condensed milk, it got SUPER thick, and as I spread it into my store-bought cookie pie shell, the whole thing crumbled -- but, I pieced it back together as best I could. My final problem was when I discovered that I had bought cook and serve pudding instead of instant. By, that point, I thought I'd just work with what I had and used the cook pudding. After all that, the pie was great! My boyfriend wouldn't touch it because of the nuts (and the poor guy had to make two trips to the store!), but my friend and I devoured it! Next time, I will make my own crust so it's not so fragile, though. I'd also make my own whipped topping (sorry Cool Whip).

Quick, Easy, Delicious, But too full so I used one 5.9 oz pkg of pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups of milk and eliminated the top cool whip layer. My hubby loves this pie! Update: I used the variation with the unsweetened chocolate and the increased sweetened condensed milk and it made the chocolate fudge layer softer and easier to cut through.

VERY VERY VERY rich and sweet! I LOVE chocolate and sweets, but any more than a tiny slice of this is too much. Shave chocolate over top and chopped up pecans for decoration and to help guests know what's underneath.

just ok.

i have made this pie a couple of times,using heavy whipping cream instead of the coolwhip. it's almost fool proof and very delicious!
