Decadent Fudge Pie

I found this recipe in my stash of recipes. I cut it out of one of my many Southern Living magazines at some point in the last several years. Southern Living is my "go to" so often for a new recipe.... and each recipe is so often a keeper.

There is a dessert at Houston's Restaurant that I love... and crave. We don't have a Houston's in Omaha so I visited one in years. It was the warm 5 Nut Brownie with Blue Bell Vanilla Ice cream with Kahlua. I am dieing just remembering this heavenly dessert.

This brownie is similar in taste, looks, decadence. You could certainly substitute Kahlua for the chocolate syrup and you could add 4 more nut varieties. I thought it was amazing and it was difficult for me to stop eating so I could share a little with my family!


Fudge Pie (adapted from Southern Living)

3/4 cup butter
3 ( 1 oz) squares unsweetened chocolate
