This is a dream of a chocolate nut pie :) I made a gluten free pie crust and reduced sugar and syrup: 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup honey (I don't use corn syrup) - personal preference, I just don't like it very sweet. It didn't seem to affect the texture because the pie came out perfect, and the taste was fantastic. Thanks for posting!<br/>Made for Went To The Market.

This pie gets 5 stars alone for taste! That said, I think it would be better suited to a deep-dish crust, as my filling over-ran...It did puff up nicely, but the crust was covered with filling, so not too pretty :( I did cover it with whipped topping, and it tasted fabulous! I followed the directions, as stated, and the pie is very fudgy, rich and decadent. I will make this again, but next time, I'll try a bit larger crust. Thanks for sharing, Syd!
