This was the first pecan pie I have made and even my family that thinks pecan pie is too sweet loved this recipe. My mom has asked for the recipe for her upcoming Christmas party. I will be making this pecan pie again!

Perfect combination of pecans and chocolate. Very rich, very decadent, very good! The gooeyness of a brownie the butteriness of pecan pie (I use real butter NOT margarine)!

This pie is AMAZING. Only alteration is to add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the stove top ingredients - have made it several times for family and all agree that it really results in a richer chocolate taste.

This is so good! You need to serve it with whipped topping because it's so rich. My favorite pie!

I was really excited about this but it didn't seem to have the right consistency. It might have been my fault, though. I'm not the best with pies.

yummmyyyyy! I used chopped pecans because it is easier to cut through... no other changes. But beware if you are looking for a jelly filled middle, like your used to with pecan pie, this ain't it. It's somewhere between that a brownie like substance. My husband gripped about that but I loved it! I'm very untraditional/ traditional.... If that make any sence ...he's just traditional. My 3 boys killed it in under an hour :)

I’ve made this pie for various Thanksgivings and holiday parties and it is always a huge hit. I make a few small adjustments. I use butter rather than margarine and I add about 2-3 oz of chopped dark chocolate into the sugar, cocoa, corn syrup mix right before adding the eggs. I also add about 3 TBSP of good bourbon into the mix right before adding the pecans. I put a full cup of chopped pecans into the pie. A few other suggestions: Use the best chocolate and cocoa powder you can get your hands on. I switched to Valrhona cocoa powder a while back and it makes all the difference in the world for recipes using cocoa powder. Temper the eggs before adding them. Quickly whisk a little of the hot chocolate/syrup mix into the eggs first then add the eggs to the remainder of your mix. Just dumping in the eggs will give you little bits of scrambled egg in your pie. This pie, especially if you add the bourbon, is best made a day ahead of time so the flavors have time to meld. I really prefer this recipe using cocoa powder to those calling for chocolate chips. The flavor is so much richer with the cocoa powder! A staple in my holiday cookbook.
