Stoop
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I saw the episode for this pie and I couldn't wait to make it. I did everything exactly as it said. The pie looked beautiful... but after I let it cool and cut into it, it was a huge mess! It was very runny and not edible; a pie soup. Not going to bother making it again. I was so disapointed!!!Read more

super fast-super great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe! I did bake it 10 minutes longer, probably due to my oven not being accurate on temp. Also, highly recommend... Trader Joe's frozen pie crusts--comes 2 in package and easy to use after thawed for this deep dish recipe. Big hit!Read more

Very easy, great results!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe as it always comes out wonderfully and is very simply to make. I recommend using high quality bourbon... like Knob Creek. I usually have to have longer than 35 minutes at the reduced 350 degrees, but it's easy to tell when the pie is done, as the filling will not wiggle when you shake the cookie sheet.Read more

Chocolate Pecan Pie
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

My girlfrend (Debbie) and i baked this pie. The first one came out really bad and exploded in our oven. We went to youtube... and looked at the video and saw that she (Paula) used a deep dish pie pan. The receipe calls for just a regular unbaked pie shell. I think Paula needs to update the receipe and mention that you should use a DEEP pie shell. *** Has anyone used a regular pie shell or did you have to use a deep one? I also wanted to say that i love my girlfriend Debbie very much. Read more

A twist on an old recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is just a twist on the basic pecan pie recipe on the Karo syrup bottle. Paula just added a 1/2 cup more nuts, chocolate... and liquor to her recipe. I have made the Karo recipe for many years and when I saw her prepare this on tv it sounded good so I thought I would try it. I used semi sweet choco chips in my pie and didn't put any liquor in it. i also cooked it at 350 for about an hour, the recipe on the Karo says to cook 55-60 mins and it usually takes that long to set up. This recipe is good but I think I will stick to the plain pecan pie. Read more
