Very good pie but it is important to use high quality chips. I used Ghiradelli which is excellent. Nestle & Hershey are not high quality. I have compared with experience.BTW, semi-sweet & bittersweet is the same thing I believe...

I am really surprised no one hasn't written a review about the crust burning yet. I used unbaked pie dough, Pillsbury, and cooked it at 375 for only 45 minutes and it was already burnt, so I took it out. Is the temperature too high? Is the cooking time too long? Something is wrong with that because there is no reason why my crust should have burnt. And now the whole thing's ruined.

This is the 2nd time I've made this pie and I like the fact that it is so easy to make. I think I need to lower the heat to 350 degrees-I cooked at 375 for 50 minutes like the recipe states and once it has cooled, it was hard to cut. Warming in the microwave for 30 seconds may help...I will try that tonight on my 2nd piece!! Delicious flavor, especially with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

This was a great pie and it's so much better warmed 30 seconds in the microwave. I also made the caramel sauce. For the sauce, it took me about 7 minutes to get the 'deep amber' color, and I did burn it a little, but it was still great. My pie wasn't runny - it had the same consistency of a regular pecan pie.

The pie was rich, but somehow the caramel seems to cut the richness. Along with the caramel sauce, I'll add vanilla ice cream with this the next time I make this one.

This was an extremely easy and tasty pie. I love sweet pecan pie and this was less sweet than normal...which I thoroughly enjoyed! I also added more vanilla, and will bake it for less time next time....my oven is very hot. Thank you for a great recipe!!

Superb. I don't understand the negative reviews. I've made many pecan pies and this one is the easiest and tastiest I've made. Semi-sweet chips ARE the right chips to use. No, it's not going to have the same creamy consistency of a regular pecan pie...because IT'S NOT a regular pecan pie, it's a chocolate pecan pie that calls for half the amount of corn syrup of a typical pecan pie and no butter. In my opinion (and I don't have a huge sweet tooth it's NOT too sweet or too rich. It's a pecan pie not a pound cake, pecan pies are sweet! Yes, the chocolate makes it rich, but that just means you don't need to eat a piece the size of Texas. My only advice is to cover the edges with foil until the last 15 minutes or so. Mine took 55 minutes and it was crisp on top and perfectly set. Everyone at the party asked me for the recipe. Delicious!

Yum! I LOVE this pie. It's so delicious, but the best part is how easy it is! I love that you can stir everything together, and then you have an amazing pie. It bakes up beautifully, and it's the perfect amount for a deep dish shell. My boyfriend, family, and all the Xmas party guests ask me to make it over and over. I've never made the caramel, I use whipped cream instead. Perfect.

This recipe was super easy and very good. The only substitution I made was using bittersweet (Ghirardelli chips instead of semisweet. I also did not make the caramel sauce instead I served with vanilla ice cream. I will definitely be making again.

I usually make a regular pecan pie, but decided to make a change this Thanksgiving. I tried this one and was not disappointed. It is a great change from the norm, especially if you like chocolate. The family loved it and I had to make another the next day.
I put the chocolate in the bottom, but mixed my pecans in the filling. Turned out great. I will make this one again.

My family, especially the chocolate lovers, really look forward to this pie every Thanksgiving. It's very decadent. I always use higher quality semi-sweet chocolate chips, like Ghirardelli, and i feel that makes quite a difference. Often i add a splash or two of bourbon as well. Definitely make sure to use a deep dish pie shell or it will over flow while cooking. Learning from experience, it is not fun to clean up when it's burnt to the bottom of the stove. Give this recipe a try, it's well worth the calories! I'm making 3 of these this year for different Thanksigiving Parties and i know they will all be gone in flash.
