This is a classic pie from my childhood...my mom used to make it all the time. We loved serving it and having people guess what the "mystery ingredient" was. I have always made it with 2/3 cup chopped Walnuts and prefer this more bitter nut to the sweeter pecan to balance the sweetness of the rest of the pie. (my recipe also says 16 ritz crackers, but I doubt that makes too much of a difference.) I also always top it with fresh cream whipped from 1/2 pint of whipping cream. I'm so glad this recipe is posted here on zaar and hope that more people will give it a try...it is delicious (and so simple to make...why not give it a try?)

Moved to Florida 11 years ago and love it.
I prepare food for our Cold Night Shelter at my church when the weather outside is 40 or below. Love to bowl.
