Made this pie for Thanksgiving and it came out quite well following the recipe exactly. It only made one pie for me. (although I used a real pie pan vs store bought The pie was a little too much for me and a couple of others-We all seem to prefer a simpler pecan pie. The molasses seemed too strong of a flavor and the chocolate just seemed to be a bit too sweet and rich for the already incredibly sweet pecan pie. If you tried this pie and think it was too sweet, try the cranberry-white chocolate for a different twist. The cranberries really cut the sweet adding a nice tang.

5 stars is SO not enough! This was a fantastic hit last Thanksgiving...4 generations of Texans in my family and we were practically in tears after tasting this. VERY sweet and VERY rich....and absolutely stunning! The bourbon sizzled when it hit the hot pie. I made it with molasses...but can't wait to try it with some cane syrup this year. I'll admit the recipe is a little involved, but I measured everything out first and it came together quickly.

I'm even going to try and bribe my neighbor with a pie in exchange for the pecans from the trees in his yard!

I have made this pecan pie many times. I've made it for parties, bake sales, etc. Everybody loves it and always ask for the recipe. I serve it with whipped cream because the pie is very rich. Also very easy to make. This is a true winner!

Love Love Love the pie crust ~ Best ever. The pie was fairly complicated and time consuming to make. It was in the end ~ delicious but I personally would cut back a little on the bourbon. The ice cream was a challenge and it took me 3 tries to get it right, but oh sooooo worth it!
My review is ~ Lots of work, but fabulous flavor.

While this pie was warmly received at Thanksgiving dinner, the amount of chocolate on top was a little bit much. The next time we make this we will only put half the amount.

This is also best the day it is made as refridgerating causes the topping to be a little hard.

I made this yesterday for a benefit in my office for The United Way. We sold pieces of pie and the money went to charity. I've now had requests from everyone who tasted it for the recipe. It's awesome!

We made this at Thanksgiving last year. I must say ot was the absolute best tasting pecan pie EVER! The crust was a little to dry to roll out so I added moree butter and it seemed to work out better. I am making it again this year,

Normally I'm terrible at making dessert but this recipe was a success. I used store bought deep dish pie crusts which made 2 pies for this recipe.
