This pie was fantastic! But when I made the chocolate topping it turned to a grainy paste and started separating. With some quick thinking, I added some wipped cream and it smoothed it out. Also, I didn't have nuts so I made it with pretzels, instead of a regular pie crust I used crushed oreos. yum!

There is no step for the white topping!

This was amazing!! I didn't want to use the egg yolk so instead I removed the topping mixture from the heat and let set for about 5 minutes. I then folded in about a 1/4 cup of Cool Whip and it was wonderful!!! Before I put it into the fridge, I also chopped up a few pecans (really fine) and sprinkled over the top. I served it up with some French Vanilla Ice cream too!!

Absolutely sinful and amazing....made it for Christmas dinner this year. Very Very sweet but everyone loved it. It was more like eating a piece of candy then a slice of pie.

I make this pie for every holiday. I usually make two from this recipe becuase it is very rich. But I could eat a whole pie by myself. This is my favorite pie.

Exactly the flavor I was looking for. I added whipped cream and it was the perfect touch not only for taste but also for presentation. I really like the idea of a "turtle cream" pie, and next time I will probably half ALL of the ingredients (except for pecans/shell) and put at least 8 oz. of whip cream (enough to fill out the pie crust) on top. I also decorated with pecans dipped in caramel, chopped chocolate chips with shavings, etc, and drizzled caramel. I would not use a graham cracker crust or cookie crust as someone recommended as it is already really rich (sweet).

This is not really a pie as much as it is just a giant turtle in a pie crust. You have to cut the pieces so tiny that you might as well just make turtles. Very very rich, and don't over-cook the caramel, it gets chewy...like a turtle.

I used a cookie crust also, and added some whipped cream on top, but the caramel filling was just way to much/sweet. The resemblence to turtle chocolate candy was perfect, but the next time I wont make this as a pie, maybe as little candys or something else. I guess you could try using only half or a third of the caramel.
