If you like pecan pie, chances are you will love chocolate pecan pie! I know I do and I’m not really a huge pecan pie fan. My husband, on the other hand, loves pecan pie in any form and he really enjoyed this chocolate version.

The texture is a bit “fudgier” than regular pecan pie. Since pecan pie has that slight caramel taste the chocolate goes soooo well with it. Oh, and you HAVE to use this butter pie crust recipe because it just makes it taste oh so divine!

Watch me make this chocolate pecan pie from start to finish!
