More About This Recipe

  • We can thank the South for bringing pecan pie into the mix of America’s favorite Thanksgiving desserts. And out of all of Betty’s spins on pecan pie you should definitely try this chocolate version first. Its gooey insides and crispy outer layer make for an amazingly delicious texture, and the chocolate combined with the pecans make for an even better flavor. The crunchy, sugared-up pecans surrounded by melty chocolate are totally irresistible. This from-scratch recipe also asks for homemade pie crust, so make sure to read up on Betty’s step-by-step guide to getting the perfect crust. When you’re done, you’ll have a perfectly decadent pie that everybody will want you to make again and again.
