I figured it would be a big project so I waited for a weekend to make
the Texas Doodle Pie posted here by Rosie. So if you want to skip all
the blah, blah the recipe is posted at the end.

I took it to work today to share with my co-workers. They were
stopping by my office to tell me how good it was. One lady said by
8:30 am there were only 3 slices left.
I cut it into very, very thin slices because it is so rich.

It's a three layer cake, or actually pie, umm....cake.
There's a graham cracker crust, standard procedure. A dense chocolate
cake layer that's topped with chopped snickers and cream cheese. It's
then baked and topped with a chocolate ganache.

<snip VERY yummy-sounding recipe>

Oh. My. Gawd... what a super decadent dessert!! Thanks for posting the great
pics and recipe, koko. I could go for a slice of that right now.

I lived in TX for 16 years and never heard of Texas Doodle Pie til now, but
it sounds like something that would be good to make for a potluck or special
meal.

Thank you Mary, it really is decadent. I got a tooth ache just looking
at it ;-)
One warning though, be prepared to make more.
I have requests to make it again and they are offering to pay for it.

Why did you line the baking dish with parchment? Wouldn't a
springform have worked as well, without that crinkly paper? Just
curious....I've never tried to press a graham crust into a paper-lined
dish.

Yes, a springform pan would have been a world better than what I used.
I have one, just didn't think of it. <hitting self on forehead>

Anyway, the recipe called for a 10" cake pan and for the pan to be
lined with the parchment. I did hesitate at first but decided to
follow the instructions, especially after reading the fudge layer,
fudge = gooey, sticky to me. There was also the candy bar layer which
is gooey, sticky also. The graham crust was on the bottom only, not up
the sides.
Since I wasn't bright enough to think of the springform pan the
parchment made it easier to remove the cake,pie,cake from the pan, and
with all the gooey-ness I only had a few spots on the top rim of the
pan to scrub clean.

Next time I'll wait until the cake,pie,cake is removed from the pan to
put the ganache on it. It would have looked much better to have the
ganache running down the sides of the cake,pie,cake.

It's really delicious, I hope you make one.
