8" plain pastry pie shell (store bought or make your own)
1 small box dark chocolate pudding(cooking kind, not instant)
1 C. semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 C. fine coconut
1/2 C. chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
whipped topping (like Cool Whip)




Recipe

Take crust and cover bottom with chocolate chips, just enough for one layer to cover bottom. Heat in oven or microwave to SLIGHTLY warm and soften the chocolate chips. Meanwhile, cook pudding according to directions on box and add coconut & nuts, stir well. Pour while hot into pie crust. Chill in refrigerator until set. Once chilled, top with regular whipped topping (like Cool Whip). For more of a restaurant effect put topping into a cake decorating bag with tip & pipe on.
