Name: Chocolate Pecan Pie

From the kitchen of Patty Hykes

Chocolate pecan pie is the Southern pecan pie tradition taken one step further — the corn syrup filling enriched with melted chocolate to create something darker and more complex. Patty Hykes's use of German sweet chocolate (or semi-sweet squares) reflects the way NE Ohio home bakers absorbed Southern dessert traditions into their own repertoire over the course of the 20th century.
