Notes
⭐ Tips for Show-Stopping Chocolate Delight:
• Use Oreo crumbs instead of the pecan crust for a richer twist.
• Try layering chocolate and vanilla pudding for a marble effect.
• Make it ahead — it tastes even better after chilling overnight.
• Serve chilled with a drizzle of hot fudge for extra wow factor!
