Texas Mud Pie
My Aunt Pat used to make this awesome pie and bring it to our family pot lucks, it was so good. Then she passed the recipe to me and I got to bring it for a long time. I think that different versions of this recipe have been around for years, but this is ours and we love it. It is so rich and it is hard to say just which layer of this awesome pie is the best. This is one of those pie's that you may actually have to hide from everyone until time to serve.
Texas Mud Pie Starts With A
Crunchy Pecan Cookie Crust
First We Layer Cream Cheese Mix
Next We Have A Layer Of Rich Chocolate
Top It Off With Whipped Topping and Pecans

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, half and half and the sour cream. Place a piece of wax paper or clear plastic wrap on top of the pudding and refrigerate until cool and set.
When the pudding is set. Very carefully spoon the chocolate on top of the cream cheese layer.
