Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe
With the holidays coming up I was real excited to be selected to do this post for Diamond Nuts. I don’t bake a lot of pies but the first think that came to my mind was a Pecan Pie. I added the pecans together with some semi sweet chocolate chips and the end result was delicious. This Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe has very little prep time, but does take a good 40 minutes to bake. I prepared the recipe as written just be sure to allow plenty of time for the pie to set and cool before serving. Also it is a good idea to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to keep the crust from becoming too dark or burning.
This Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe is simple and rich in flavor making it great for the holidays. If you’ve never baked a Pecan pie before; give this one a try, and enjoy.
