Chocolate Pecan Pie

Wow, it's November already.  As we're beginning the approach on the upcoming holiday season it's time to start thinking about great holiday recipes to share with guests.

Pecan pie is one of those desserts that is popularly served at Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.  It is also considered a specialty of Southern U.S. cuisine. 

Pecan pie is typically made of corn syrup and pecan nuts, but you're on my website and that means you expect chocolate.  So here's a chocolate pecan pie recipe for you to enjoy.  And, this one is quite simple to make.
