I was first introduced to this chocolatey version in college when my roommate came back from Thanksgiving break with a few slices. It was truly love at first bite and I think I ended up eating most of it myself, whoops! That delicious flavor stuck with me and when the job of baking Thanksgiving pies fell to me later in life, I knew this one had to be on my list.
It took me a few trial runs to find the right recipe, but once I made this one I knew it was a keeper. The buttery pecans balance out the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly, and you really can’t beat that fudgy texture!
Using a jar of hot fudge and a premade crust make this recipe a breeze to throw together, but no one would guess based on the beautiful final results. Add it to your thanksgiving dessert lineup or treat your family on any given day. A slice of pie is never a bad idea. Load up each serving with whipped cream and additional chocolate chips and dig in!
