Pecan Fudge Pie
This fudgy pie is the perfect showcase for crunchy pecans. It's a special chocolaty twist on traditional pecan pie. It slices beautifully, and one slice goes a long way. Top it with whipped cream and you won't wait long for compliments! -Jacquelyn Smith, Soperton, Georgia

Reviews
I found this recipe in a newspaper when I lived in Honolulu HI in 1975. I had a house fire in January 2019 and thought this recipe was lost to me forever. I am so very happy to have found it again. This is my favorite pie.
I've been making this pie for several years and it is always a hit. My daughter, who normally does not like pie, requests this one every holiday. It's sweet, but not overly so.
This pie is great and easy - the perfect combination! It IS mighty rich, but my children love it! I add slightly sweetened whipped cream.
I made this pie two years ago and my family loved the chocolaty taste. I did add 1/4 cup baking cocoa and flour, (I do not like rich Pies) this was not to rich at all. I still give it 5 stars.
Although 2 of my kids like this, the only reason I won't make this again is because I would rather make a pecan pie that is more traditional. It was good, but a little too chocolaty for me. It really stuck on the fork.
As a hubby request I looked for a chocolate pecan pie. Found this one but his reply not sweet enough.
Very easy to make, delicious. G'kids loved it! Rich but not too sweet.
Extra rich and super fudgey! Good warmed or cold with whipped cream.
