    1      9 inch        unbaked pastry shell
    1      cup           pecan pieces
    1      package       semisweet chocolate pieces -- (6 oz)
      1/2  cup           caramel ice cream topping
    1      package       cream cheese -- (8 oz) softened
    1      carton        dairy sour cream -- (8 oz)
      1/2  cup           sugar
    1      teaspoon      vanilla
    3                    eggs
                         unsweetened cocoa powder -- optional
 
 Sprinkle pecans evenly in unbaked pastry shell; sprinkle with chocolate pieces
and drizzle with caramel topping. Set aside.
 In a medium mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla; beat
with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, beating on low
speed just until combined. Pour over caramel topping in crust.
 Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 45 minutes or until center appears set. Cool on
a wire rack. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
 Sift cocoa powder over pie, if desired. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
