amazing and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

it was the first time to ever make this and it was sooo easy. i did modify it just a little i used a 1/4 cup of slenda... because my boyfriends mom is diabetic and i also used dark chocolate chips instead of bittersweet and i would only used maybe a cup of nuts the next time but everything turned out amazing and everyone loved it!!!

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just ate a piece of this pie and thought it was great. I dont really like traditional pecan pie, so I was trying out some... alternatives for this holiday season. This pie is rich and chocolatey! I used chopped pecans instead of hazlenuts because I couldnt find them either. Dark chocolate is decedant and not too sweet which i loved :-). Thanks Giada.Read more

Didn't come out right :(
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Saw this on TV the other day and thought I'd try it this weekend - 'cos it looked so YUMMY. Substituted walnuts for... hazlenuts (local grocery store did not have them!), with all other things the same. Baked it at night and left it overnight to stand....when it was time to cut it in the morning, there was just a lot of LIQUID that was still there...the whole tart looked like wet mush...i was very disappointed and a little embarassed :( Can someone pls tell me why there was liquid after letting it sit overnight....i really would like to give this a second chance!! Thanks so much in advance!!Read more

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this recipe this morning and I love it!!! I made a couple of changes though. Reading all of the review it... appeared that it may be too sweet. Instead of putting 1 cup of corn syrup I used 3/4 of a cup. I used the dark chocolate chips and threw in a few extra (the semi-sweet chips would definately have made this way too sweet). I tried a small bit of it before serving to make sure it was okay and I ended up throwing in back in the oven for a little longer. The sugar/flour/egg mixture didn't seem to cook all the way. I didn't think there were too many nuts like some of the other reviews. I also want to thank C from Bloomington, IN in her review for giving the hint on how to peel the hazelnuts. I worked beautifully and I had no trouble with getting the skin off. Overall a wonderful recipe.Read more

Yummy!!! (made with a couple substitution)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is an excellent and easy recipe!! I did though use semi-sweet choc chips and went about 3/4 cup corn syrup. I also had... to use walnuts because Publix did not have hazelnuts (go figure). It came down to be so delicious any nut you use or any choc chip you use. MUST TRY. Almost tastes like a choc pecan pie.Read more

Chocolates and Hazelnuts are my 2 favorite things!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I doubled the recipe and followed lightening up the corn syrup in the recipe. I also added Frangelico Liquor. It was the... best!!! I bought roasted hazelnuts that were partially peeled and did not have to waste time peeling. Simple and delicious!!! Read more
