This was so easy to make, and the end result was delicious. I like pecan pie, but sometimes find it cloyingly sweet. I think the chocolate helped to tame the sweetness. I served this with cool whip. This would be a wonderful twist on the classic pecan pie for a holiday meal! -
This was incredibly good - the filling was perfect. When it baked up, the chocolate formed a layer directly underneath the walnuts. Next time I will use less (maybe even half as much) chocolate, but it was a hit.
