Place the prepared chocolate cookie crust on a flat surface.
Pour the caramel sauce into the crust and spread it evenly using a spatula. Reserve 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce for garnish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped pecans over the caramel layer, ensuring they are distributed evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Allow the chocolate ganache to cool for 1-2 minutes, then pour it over the pecan layer and spread it evenly.
Spoon the whipped topping over the chocolate layer and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
Drizzle the reserved caramel sauce over the whipped topping in a zigzag pattern for decoration.
If desired, garnish the pie with caramel candies and pecan halves for an extra decorative touch.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this rich and luscious turtle pie!
