Chocolate Pecan Pie – Nutty and Delicious.

Dad always loved chocolate pecan pie. As a child, I would often get home from school and see him in the kitchen, flipping the crusts of the pie crusts while humming a tune I couldn’t identify. Even now, as an adult and middle-aged father of two, I can see the fire in his eye as he cooks. And it’s that passion for cooking and baking that has led him to create some of the most amazing chocolate pecan pies I’ve ever tasted.

Dad has a unique way of making chocolate pecan pie. He starts by melting some chocolate, then stirring in some Choctaw ® chocolates, until the chocolate is completely melted. He then adds in the pecans, and continues to stir until the pecans are evenly coated. Finally, he mixes in some cornstarch, and fills the pie crusts.

The result is a pie that is both rich and chocolatey, with a hint of Divinity from the choctaw chocolates. Dad always warns me that a single slice is all I should indulge in – but I can’t resist, and I always end up eating way more than one slice.

And even though I’m an adult now, I can still see the excitement in my dad’s eyes as he cooks. It’s that passion for cooking and baking that has led him to create some of the most amazing chocolate pecan pies I’ve ever tasted. I know I’ll continue to enjoy them for years to come.
