Sixty years ago, give or take, my Mother made this recipe once in a while and I remember it being my all time fav. I still love it, and today it's called Chocolate Pudding Cake mix, but Mom's is much better.

This is a quick dessert that any chocolate lover will flip over. It is also low in sugar and low in fat. Any variety of nut can be substituted for the pecans. Great with ice cream.
