Pie Time! Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie
Everyone Loves Pie! Especially a Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie that's packed with dark chocolate chunks and pecans in a flaky homemade crust. Break out the the ice cream and chocolate fudge and get ready for pie heaven!
Pie. Don’t you love a good pie? Something that Grandma (or Mamaw in my case) would have made? Like Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie? Actually my aunts have always been the “Pie Divas” in my family and my Aunt Kathy set me straight a long time ago that the crust is where every pie decides if its going to be great! She was so very right.
I always assumed a crust was hard but its not! These days, all you need is a few pulses in a food processor with ingredients you probably already have in the house and you have a crust that no box can ever give you! Promise!
Like eating an amazing cookie (see our Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies), this crazy good pie is loaded with dark chocolate chunks, pecans, and gooey heaven (hilariously found on aisle 7). It’s like 2 desserts in one! Chocolate chip cookie meets pie. Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie. We love double duty desserts here at SL. Check out our Apple Crisp Pie for a pie that’s like apple crisp and apple pie had a love child. Free Love People!
