Our family LOVES German Chocolate Cake - so tried this. The result was fabulous! DH couldn't stop telling me how yummy it is. Thank you for a keeper. I halved the recipe for one pie and it worked out just great.

This is fudgy and delicious! I cannot make a piecrust, so I followed the directions on the Pillsbury site for a slab pie. The only changes I made in the recipe were to toast the pecans, and I used a whole bag of sweetened coconut. I made this for our Christmas celebration this weekend, And everyone who tried it raved about it! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
