Decadent, rich and amazing. This pecan pie is so easy, the hardest part is only eating just one slice!

When one is invited to a Pie Party for expat Americans in Australia, one must perform accordingly. It couldn't be just any old pie. It had to fit the standard criteria for Thanksgiving...to be honest, chocolate is a bit close to being disqualified, but we let it slide with it being a pecan pie. The Stock Standards for Thanksgiving pies are of course Pumpkin pie, and then Apple and always Pecan. I snuck that chocolate in there on a whim and it worked wonderfully. SO here it is for you...took me a while, but I have been a tad busy! Enjoy my lovelies...call it Valentine's Day pie, Christmas pie, birthday pie if you like. (No excuses needed as far as I am concerned!)
