I love chocolate and caramel together.... and I have a huge sweet tooth, but this pie looks a little too sweet for me. Glad I didn't make it. Stunning photos, as usual!!!

Those boys must think they've struck gold having you for a neighbor! Your pie looks perfect. The chocolate was a little strong for me, too, which surprised me. I would have preferred saving some of the filling and pouring it over the top. Loved that stuff.

What a lovely photo with all those forks resting gracefully around the pie. I'm so glad everyone loved it. Not a huge fan of caramel/chocolate combination either but I know many people who are. The pecan filling was great, wasn't it?

i think she was going for a pie that echoed those turtle candies--the pecans covered in caramel and then chocolate. when i made this pie the first time with the beta bakers i didn't care much for it but this time i loved it! good thing your neighbors were willing to take it off your hands.

I love making pie crust by hand too, but found that I get same flakiness when i use the food processor, and its faster... ( or i am just lazy) for my surprise the pie wasn't overly sweet and we had room for another slice, which very rare when consuming this type of dessert, I am sorry you didn't like it after all that hard work.

Looks great! There's no such thing as "too sweet" for my husband, but I have to take a break from Alpha Baking this week. I prefer less sugar every year, it seems. Your kitchen is a beautiful photo set!!

I was surprised by how fast the eggs cooked, too. I was waiting, and waiting, and pouf! had to pull the filling off quickfast before I had sugary scrambled eggs.

Luscious picture with the forks. This was very sweet but I somehow managed to eat quite a lot :)

Beautiful Kim! Love the pictures and post!
