Decadent Triple Layer Mud Pie

This recipe comes from the Jello folks. It's one of those that I tore out of a magazine a long time ago. Some of the best recipes come that way.

Decadent Triple Layer Mud Pie

3 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
1/4 cup canned sweetened condensed milk
1 Oreo Pie Crust (6 oz)
1/2 cup chopped, toasted pecans (optional)
2 cups milk
2 pkg (4-serving size each) Jell-o Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed

Mix chocolate and condensed milk until well blended. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with pecans, if desired.

Pour milk into large bowl. Add pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. (Mixture will be thick.)

Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the pudding over pecans in crust. Add 1/2 of the whipped topping to remaining pudding. Stir with wire whisk until well blended. Spread over pudding in crust. Top with remaining whipped topping.

Refrigerate 3 hours.

Makes 10 servings.
