This pie is perfect for chocolate lovers. You can use unsweetened chocolate because there is already enough sugar. It has become a holiday standard at our house. -
My husband's favorite local BBQ place sells chocolate pecan pie for $4 a slice, so he requested that I make him one at home. This is the recipe I chose, and it's BETTER than the BBQ place!! Pecan pies are tricky for me. In order to keep the tops and crusts from burning or over-browning, I loosely "tent" the entire pie with foil and cut a slit in the top for steam to escape. For this recipe, I keep the foil "tent" on the pie for the whole cooking time and it turned-out picture perfect! Also... this recipe fits PERFECTLY into one of those Pet-Ritz deep dish frozen pie shells. Thank you for this recipe, Christine! -
This is the recipe my Aunt has been making for years. We ask her to make it for every holiday season. This year she wanted to make something new....so I tried my hand at her pie. It was so easy and delish! I made two, but did in two batches instead of doubling (sometimes it doesn't work out to double and I didn't want my sisters to be mad at me for ruining their pie!) Took one to the fire station on Christmas and it was gobbled up. I did not have any unsweetened baking chocolate so used Recipe #188761 as a sub. Nobody would ever know! Now I think I might have a new job for the holidays! -
Great pie! I used frozen pie crusts but this would be outstanding with homemade crusts. I baked it at 350* for 45 to 50 minutes. My family loved this pie! Thanks, Christine -
flavor is terrific and it is easy to make....we like it warmed up slightly and served with vanilla ice cream
