Chocolate Pecan Pie

I used maple syrup instead of corn syrup and frangelica in lieu of the vanilla with a rich dark chocolate rather than chips. It was a real hit - very rich but very yummy.

I doubled the pecans and chocolate used milk Chocolate instead of semi-sweet. Then I took whole pecans and placed around the edge of pie to make it look better. Everyone loved it.

This was a fantastic option for my husband who is allergic to both dairy and gluten. I used DF margarine for the crust instead of butter and otherwise followed the recipe exactly - it was a HUGE hit with everyone!

This was tasty and I appreciated the simplicity of the recipe but the end result just doesn't seem/look decadent enough to serve to friends or take to a dinner party.

For the filling, double up on the chocolate chips and the pecans, but leave the other ingredients the same. It makes for a thicker, richer pie. I also added a tablespoon of melted butter to the corn syrup mix and poured it all into the melted chocolate rather than the other way around. Used a storebought pie crust (I was in a hurry). Result: Delicious.

First, I used my own basic pie crust recipe and it worked fine. Also, my family prefers a really tectured pecan pie so I coursely chop 1 cup of pecans, add to syrup mixture and I added 1-1/2 of choc. chips to mixture instead of melting. Then pour into pie pan. I place whole pecans around edge of pie and four in the middle in a sort of star pattern. Place in oven and bake as directed. My pie receives rave reviews every year, even this year from my brothers very southern in-laws. Enjoy.

我买了一个现成的派皮在阅读the other reviews. Even with the crust, it came out too liquidy. I can't imagine how it would have come out if I had followed the recipe and used pecans and butter to make crust. I think the filling is good but I would used to spread over real cake layers.

I was expecting a traditional "pie" but this is not it. While the recipe is quite good (and I have already had requests to make it again) it just wasn't the "pie" I was hoping for.

this is not really a pie...it tasted (and looked) like pecans in wet chocolate sauce. It wasn't a total failure, but it was not the result I was seeking.

Sooo rich and moist! Surprisingly chocolatey, even with the cheap store-brand chocolate chips I had on hand. Recipe could easily be made low-carb using the imitation honey (malitol syrup) and sugar-free chocolate chips.

I did not have any corn syrup, and substituted molassas and a little Myers Dark Rum. When I confessed this to several kitchen-savvy friends, they laughed at my foolishness. However, this pie was hands down the favourite at the family Thanksgiving dessert buffet ~ go figure. The decadent chocolate, the rich molassas/rum taste, and the fantastic chopped pecan pie "crust" - I would absolutely make this one again.

Made this last Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It's very easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. A new family favorite!

this was so simple and very sexy to eat..very moist and not too gooey but still soft enough to accent the pecans..i added a hit of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to give it some pep..yummmmm..

Great, but a little liquidy -- great flavor though!

This is an unbelievable pie for chocoholics. It is decandently rich and creamy, with just the right amount of pecans. The only thing is I wish this recipe was made for a 9-inch pie pan which is standard for most pies. I will continue to make this pie in my home...it is a definite winner in my family!!!!
