pecan and chocolate chip pie
pecan pie is one of my favorites. but as you all know, i like to change things up a bit. i heard about chocolate pecan pies before but i never tried one. i thought to myself, adding chocolate to this pie would only make my hubby like it better. so i added some chocolate chip morsels to my pecan pie recipe and i have to tell you. we were almost knocked unconscious! lol. it was sooo good. one of the easiest pies to make too! toss the filling together in one bowl and pour it into the crust. try adding some whipped cream or ice cream on top and you will be in heaven.
