Chocolate Pecan Pie

Wednesday, August 19, 2015 by Lolli 19 Comments

 

This recipe for Chocolate Pecan Pie and the connected giveaway are sponsored by Ginny’s. All thoughts are my own. Don’t forget to scroll down below the recipe to enter not one but TWO giveaways!

My dad is crazy about pecan pie. When I was little, I didn’t quite understand his love for a nutty pie – I was much more drawn to fruit and cream pies.

Then when I got married, I discovered that my husband was also a big fan of pecan pies. Over the years, I’ve tried several (some good, some not so great, and most of them store-bought).

It wasn’t until earlier this month that I discovered the problem all along. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t like pecan pie, but that I had never eaten a truly glorious, can’t-stop-eating, I’ll-share-but-I-don’t-want-to, homemade pecan pie.

Until now.

When I saw that August 20 is National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day, I thought that I’d give pecan pie another shot. Frankly, the addition of chocolate had me too curious to not at least give it a try. I figured that if it was a flop, I could just make my pecan pie-loving husband finish it off.

Ha! Let’s just say that was not the way things went down when I made this pie…

This pie was relatively easy to make and tasted divine. I even impressed my husband, who remarked several times (as we both ate 2-3 slices a day til we had polished the whole thing off) that this pecan pie tasted much more light – not as “heavy” as the typical pecan pie. (Don’t ask me why it tasted lighter than usual…because I didn’t use “light” ingredients).

I loved the light (not over-powering) addition of chocolate (because CHOCOLATE) and honestly couldn’t find a single thing I didn’t love about it. (OK, if I’m being honest, maybe I don’t love what eating 2-3 slices a day does to my figure…or the fact that I’ve been craving another one ever since I made it a few weeks ago).

My advice? If you love pecan pie, make this. If you don’t love pecan pie, make this. It may just change your mind.
