This pie is absolutely delicious! The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and chocolatey. I love the combination of chocolate and pralines, and the pie is just the right amount of sweetness.

I'm not a huge fan of pralines, but I still enjoyed this pie. The crust was delicious and the filling was rich and chocolatey.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your desserts too sweet.
