Chocolate Pecan Pie – a family favorite for generations.
This deliciously fudgy, rich, sweet and nutty pie is my most requested holiday pie. In fact, this is the only pie our daughter will eat. She says she doesn’t like pie. Go figure! Yup, not buying that one! Even if you’re not a pie lover, like our daughter, or have never made a homemade pie, I bet this is one you’ll love and can make yourself. The filling comes together in just a few minutes. Stir and pour and you’re ready to bake!
Is chocolate pecan pie hard to make?
Allow the unbaked pie to rest a few minutes before baking.
The pie will puff up while baking, but settles back down while cooling.

Looking forward to baking your pie. What type of chocolate do you buy for this? Chocolate morsels? Chocolate candy bar?
Thank you

Hi Sherrie. I use bar semisweet baking chocolate like the Bakers brand. No candy bars or chocolate chips. Bakers Semisweet Chocolate is easy to find at Walmart or your local grocery store. This is my daughters favorite pie of all time. I love it too!

How much sugar do I need to make this?

Hi Christina. The recipe calls for 1/3 cup of granulated sugar. Enjoy!

With spring arriving in paris, I feel like eating a pecan pie. I'm going to try that recipe! It looks so good!<br />

Ummm … well, I've never had it, but I think it might be a safe assumption to say that that might be my favorite pie, too – it looks and sounds incredible!
