Not your usual pecan pie. A rich layer of bittersweet chocolate balances the sweetness of this pie. Chocked full of pecans for a decadently satisfying filling. Be sure to use a high quality bittersweet chocolate which is 60 - 70 % cacao for this pie. Cook time reflects baking pie dough and cooling. From the November 2007 issue of Gourmet Magazine.
