This is the best Pecan Pie recipe I've had to date. Nothing else touches it. You'll never go back to run of the mill pecan pie after trying this treat.

This recipe tastes great, but has a major flaw IMO. What is with step 5? There is no way possible to evenly spoon sticky 1/2 size pecan pieces over the top of the pie. They are molten hot, so forget trying to arrange them nicely! You can't get the pecans on evenly. Once this baked, the top created a VERY hard crust, that was next to impossible to cut thru. Next time I will do either two things: either place the "topping" mixture on the bottom of the crust, or pour the hot honey/sugar mixture over pre-arranged pecan pieces already on the top of the pie.

This must be a great recipe because by the time I got to the Thanksgiving dessert table, it was all gone. Everyone raved about it, and my husband keeps asking when I going to make it again. Guess I'll have to so I can get a taste. I've been taking the pecan pie to family functions for years and that was the first time I didn't bring some back home.

This was a very yummy pie...my only problem was that it was still "runny" after cooking for the full cooking time and i wasn't able to tell that till after the pie cooled and was ready to cut. Not sure if it needed to cook longer or what. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was a great recipe! Not a piece was left at our Thanksgiving get together. I could have just eaten all of the pecans that were coated in the honey crunch. Thank you for sharing.

The HIT of Thanksgiving at my house, and my best friend's house! Puts other pies to shame. If you are concerned about curdling your egg mixture with the hot butter, try introducing a little of the egg mixture (like a tbsp) into the bowl with the melted butter and whisk for 30 seconds. Repeat another two times and the butter should be at the right temperature. This pie is worth the extra effort!!!

My pecan pie-loving husband declared this the best pecan pie he has ever had! I used brown sugar and brown sugar corn syrup in the filling as Grannyloohoo suggested and I felt that the addition of the bourbon gave the filling a nice flavor as well as cutting the overall sweetness that I tend not to like in a pecan pie. The crunchiness of the pecan topping was perfect.

I was really disappointed by this recipe. It looked beautiful, the topping by itself was awesome and generally pecan pie is one of my favorites. But, this is definitely too sweet for the average person. I was so proud to take such a beautiful pie to Thanksgiving, but once I got my own slice, I was really upset that everyone would have to force down such an incredibly sweet mess, just to be polite. Maybe, it will be better if I leave the topping off as another review says, but then it won't be as pretty either. I may try this again and attempt to cut the sugar, however I'm not hopeful.

This was a very good pecan pie, although I'm going to keep looking for the perfect pie. The topping didn't add quite as much oomph as I'd hoped. And, not to get into the issue of calories, but it looks like this pie has almost 200 more calories per serving than other pecan pies on this site. I don't know if there was anything so special about this pie to justify the extra fat! But I can't deny that it was really tasty. Oh...and I used a pre-made crust, and would really recommend pre-baking it for a few minutes before adding the filling.

The filling was good - not too sweet, but we didn't care for the whole nuts on top, and it took much longer time to bake, which made the crust overbaked, even though i covered it with foil.

I cheated and used a ready-made pie crust and it was truly the best pecan pie I've ever had. My kids don't usually go for nuts of any kind but there was not a single complaint about this pie. Make it! You won't be sorry.
