Ingredients
  • 1 box pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 box (15.8 ounce) pillsbury double chocolate brownie mix
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Top with small spoonfuls of remaining brownie mixture; spread evenly. Sprinkle with pecans. Cover crust edge with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of bake time.
  5. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until center is puffed and crust is golden brown (pie may have cracks on surface).
  6. In small bowl, mix chocolate syrup from packet and hot fudge topping. Place mixture in small resealable bag. Cut small hole off corner of bag. Drizzle topping over pie.
  7. Cool completely, about 3 hours, before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
