Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a medium size mixing bowl, then stir in the flour, brown sugar and pecans with a wooden spoon or a fork.
- Press the mixture down into the bottom of a 9 inch pie pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust has browned around the edges slightly. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Then in a different bowl, beat together the ingredients for the cream cheese layer with an electric hand held mixer until smooth. Spread this mixture on top of the cool crust.

- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to serve, top the pie with the whipped topping, chopped pecans and chocolate shavings. Then the pie is ready to enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator covered for up to 1 week.
Use a food processor to chop the pecans to make sure that they are finely chopped for the crust.
For the chocolate shavings, you can use store bought shavings or make your own by using a vegetable peeler and a plain chocolate bar.
