I originally saw this pie recipe from one of the Pillsbury bake-off contests and have made it several times. What first appealed to me with this recipe was that it had chocolate in it but it wasn’t a chocolate pie. I am generally not a big chocolate person – SHOCKER! But every now and then I crave just a little bit. That is why this pie is amazing! In addition to being a little chocolatey, its the of sweet and salty, its crunch and chewy, chocolaty but not too much.
I’ve made a few changes to the original recipe – eliminated the oats and added more granola, increased the chocolate and nuts, and added flaked coconut!
If you make this pie, you HAVE to serve it warm with ice cream! It really is the best!
