this was such a wonderful twist to my mother's pecan pie, I could only ever eat a tiny bit of hers, but when you add the chocolate, especially if it's unsweetened it really helps take the too sweet edge of f a southern pecan pie. I fell in love with this recipe when I made it one year for Christmase and have used it ever since! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe it will hold a place in my recipe box for the long term!!

The first time I made this, it was good, but I made it in a 10" pie pan. The second time I made this I increased the recipe by roughly 1/3 and it was the best pie I have ever made--pecan or not. I had to give the recipe to three people. I also always use more pecans when I do any pecan pie--about 1-1/2 or 2 times as much as it calls for.

This was yummy! I was looking for a chocolate pecan pie that contained no flour for my gluten intolerant mother-in-law. I made it with a gluten free crust. It was so easy to make! I did run into a few binds. First I found out we were out of butter, so I substituted 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce for that. Then I discovered we only had one egg left, so I used that, then shook together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 6 tablespoons water in a tightly covered container for the rest. I used splenda instead of sugar because I'm calorie conscious. I also used semisweet chocolate because it's what I had. It was a little bit runny, but not bad and very tasty. Everyone liked it!

If you love chocolate, you'll love this very rich chocolaty pie. Delightfully rich and good! One thin slice is all you need and your chocolate craving has been fulfilled.

We loved this recipe. I made this one and a regular pecan pie for Thanksgiving. While both were great...us chocoholics fought over this one! It has the perfect amount of chocolate for us, it didn't outshine the fact that it was a pecan pie, but you could definitely taste it.

Growing up I only had pecan pie a few times and I never really liked it but for some reason I really wanted to make a pecan pie this Thanksgiving. So began my search for a pecan pie recipe that in theory sounded appealing. I came across this recipes and thought to myself hmmmm I like pecans and I love chocolate so how could this not be good. And let me tell you I was not disappointed. It came out perfect and it was so delicious!!!! Thanks for the great recipe. :o)

Great! I made it for Thanksgiving and it got many compliments. Serve with real whip cream and it is wonderful. The only thing I will say is to either make in a torte pan or be sure to keep the sides of of your crust low because it doesn't rise a lot.

This was good, but not fantastic. The only thing I changed was using semi-sweet chocolate, everything else was the same. My opinion could also be skewed because I love regular pecan pie so much - probably shouldn't have messed with a good thing. Also, my cooking time took an extra 20-25 minutes - might be my British oven, but it seems to cook everything else alright.

This is a great tasting dessert. Be aware that it is not super sweet like most pecan pies, and that it is more like a European style dessert. Also, I found that the filling didn't fill the dish as much as I would have liked, so you might want to do 1 1/2 recipes or something to make more filling. The filling for me baked into a nice layer-look with the pecans and chocolate toward the top and the syrupy-gel layer under that. Altogether a wonderful dessert, that suited us well since we like less sweet desserts. It felt like something from Germany!

I have been looking for an alternative to the super sweet gooey pecan pie that we all grew up with. This is it. I had so many raves that everyone asked if I had more. There are more out on this web site with milk chocolate and semi sweet but this with unsweetened is wonderful.

Quick tip: Use an aluminum pie shield or aluminum foil to cover the top during 1/2 the baking time. This chocolate pecan pie is FABULOUS!! You gotta try it. It is great right out of the oven, but tastes even better the second day. It really hits the spot when you have to have something sweet & rich. Would give it 10 stars if I could! I chopped the pecans up a little instead of using halves. Also, I only had bittersweet chocolate (recipe calls for unsweetened) but it worked out jolly good!

Tastes like fudgy brownies with toasted pecans inside. Must have a glass of milk to go with it!
