I added 2Tbs of coco powder as recommended, but it was still way too sweet for my family. It set up nicely. but it just did not taste good at all.

We loved this for Thanksgiving. I added the cocoa powder as recommended and used coffee from the coffee pot for the liqueur as I didn't have this. I may have to add the liqueur next time! It was easy and turned out great!

The pie had excellent flavor, however, I had a real problem with the filling not setting up. I have been making pecan pies for 20 years and never had a problem.

Followed the recipe exactly and didn't care for it at all. Tasted like eating big bites of corn syrup. Really poor.

I added coco powder to the filling (about 2-3 Tbsps?), substituted ground cinnamon for the pepper, and used store-bought graham cracker crusts. I also wasn't sure how deep a "deep-dish crust" was, so I got two standard-depth 9" pre-made crusts from the store, put 1/2 cup each of chocolate chips and chopped pecans in each crust, increased the measurements for the filling ingredients by about 1/3, split the resulting filling liquid evenly between the two pies, and that filled them just about perfectly.

I didn't think I would like this because I'm not a dark chocolate fan and the ancho chili pepper worried me. This is amazingly excellenet.

Absolutely loved it! Didn't have the ancho chili but I always have ground red chili powder (locally grown), so I used that. My family requested it for Thanksgiving. It was a big hit with everyone!

This pie is a winner, I would make it again, I didn't have coffee liqueur or the chili pepper and it was still delicious, very rich (used coffee in the place of the liqueur

Has anyone made this pie and substituted for the ancho chili pepper? I can't see ordering it online.
