Chocolate Caramel Pecan Pie

This is yummers..and easy to make...You'll love it.
NEED:
1 graham cracker or pre made reg. pie shell ( if using regular pie shell, bake as directed and set aside to cool)
One jar caramel topping ( I have a caramel topping that is thicker than peanut butter and reminds me of the caramels that Kraft makes. You can use any you like..if very thick warm in microwave on low for one minutes. Stir in about 1/4 teaspoon of milk to make it easier to spread.)
4 ounces of cream cheese ( softend)
1 box instant milk chocolate pudding ( or even better, use a box of instant chocolate mousee mix) 1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped pecans ( place on cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for ten minutes - this will keep them from getting soft in the pie mixture.)
Whipped cream topping of your choice.
Pour about 1/2 cup( or a bit more- you want about 1/4 inch in the bottom of the crust) of caramel topping into pie crust. Sprinkle with appoximately 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until slightly fluffy and smooth. Spread this over the pecans.
Top with chocolate pudding or mousee mixture. Top all of this with whipped topping of your choice. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle thin lines of caramel over topping. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
