  1. In a bowl combine pecans, coconut, and margarine or butter.
  2. Put on cookie sheet and bake at 350° for 5 – 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
  3. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar, then stir in Cool Whip.
  4. Put this mixture into pie shell, top with pecan/coconut mixture, then drizzle with caramel topping.
