I actually bought the Mud Pie in a jar last time this stuff was listed. It was really not very good. I took it to a party…not many people tried it because it doesn’t look very good (and yes, I made it EXACTLY like the directions state and I’m a pretty good baker), and those that did try it either didn’t say anything and threw a good part of the piece out, or said “wow, this is REALLY rich” (and threw a good part of the piece out). I took over half of it home. I tried it, and it had a wierd consistency…some of it was mooshy, some pieces in it were really chewy (like over caramelized?), and it was REALLY rich, like sickeningly so. And this coming from someone who loves chocolate, and pecans…so I thought it couldn’t go wrong. I wouldn’t recommend that one.

Agree. Exactly agree. I, too, am a pretty good baker. The only saving grace of the pie was my homemade crust. And I was bummed I wasted a crust on it. Tasted off. Poor qual chocolate as well. Sorry Folks, I’d stay away.

Also stay away from the kettle cooked praline stuff. Totally off putting taste. The only reason I took more than one bite was to make sure it tasted THAT bad.

Lesson learned.

The Carmel topping is excellent!
