My southern family loved this pie. It was Fudgey and RICH... One change was to not use all white sugar. I used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. I'm told it's a new tradition....

It is good. About what I expected for a chocolate pecan pie.... I am a chocoholic, though, and would like it even more chocolaty..... next time I may add chocolate chips as well :-)

This is the best tasting chocolate pecan pie recipe I have made. I would suggest whisking the sugar/cocoa/butter mixture over medium/low heat until it reaches close to a boil. This thickens the mixture so it is not so soupy. Then temper your eggs by adding a little of the mixture to the beaten eggs until you feel comfortable that the eggs aren't going to "cook" when you pour them into the mixture. Be sure to let the mixture cool a bit also. I added 2 cups of chopped pecans and made two regular pies (used store bought pie crusts) with this. I'll definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe!

really YUMMY! I could not find my cocoa in the pantry so I used 2 1oz cubes of unsweetened chocolate and it turned out perfect!

I made this pie the other day and let it sit in the fridge overnight and it was HUGE success! I normally don't care for regular pecan pie because it's just too rich and sweet for me. The cocoa helps cut that a bit and it just melts in your mouth. Will definitely make this again!

This is a winner! Made this for Thanksgiving and did an encore for Christmas. My wife loved it and so did the kids. The same kids who all looked at pecan pie and said, "whatever" and then thought it was the greatest pie they'd ever eaten once they bit into it. I had another choc pecan at the in-laws over Christmas and it wasn't nearly as good as this. I think using the Hershey's cocoa powder was the difference. It's just high quality chocolate.

I love pecan pie and I love chocolate so I thought this would be the best dessert ever. However, I found I didn't care for it as much as plain pecan pie. My brother-in-law who counts on me bringing pecan pie to all the holdays, agreed. The filling is reminicent of raw brownie batter. The taste is rich and fairly good, but the texture is not quite right, a bit grainy. It was fun to try but I think I'll stick with plain pecan pie in the future.

This is very delicious! I took some others' advice and made the following changes: used 3 eggs and 1/2 c. half & half, I ran out of cocoa powder and used only about an 1/8th c of cocoa powder and 2 oz of semi sweet baking squares. I had enough to make a pie and 12 mini tartlets using cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. The mini tarts are great to take to work/bake sale, etc.
