Chocolate pecan pie is very similar to the original pecan pie, just with the addition of chocolate that makes it richer, sweeter, and more delicious. Also like the original, it is best served with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. Pecan pies are under a category of pie called sugar pies, which makes the filling gooey and syrupy, and deliciously sweet. In some recipes, a splash or bourbon or rum is added that gives the pies an extra kick, and makes them a little more delicious. Tell all your friends about this delicious pie and have a get together to celebrate it, using #ChocolatePecanPieDay to post on social media.
