Blind bake the shell for 10 minutes in a tart pan. For the filling: Melt the chocolate and 1⅓ cup cream together. Pour into the baked shell and chill for 1 hour. Top the ganache with the roasted pecan pieces and chill for another hour. For the caramel: Combine the karo, 3 tablespoons butter, ¾ cup sugar and ½ cup heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the caramel reaches the thread stage, (210 degrees). Allow the caramel to cool before pouring over the top of the ganache. Place a piece of the pie in the center of the plate. Garnish with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, mint and powdered sugar. This recipe yields 12 servings.
