Toffee Chocolate Pecan Pie
This is the most delicious Pecan Pie I have ever tasted! I visited relatives in Houston, Texas this weekend, and tried my cousin’s homemade Toffee Chocolate Pecan Pie that she made for Thanksgiving dessert and I fell in love with it. This pie is different than your typical Chocolate Pecan Pie because of the wonderful addition of toffee pieces throughout. It makes for an extremely rich, sweet, and gooey pie that is irresistable.
I highly recommend you make this! It comes out of the Houston Junior League Cookbook, which I need to buy myself. Enjoy and you’ll have to try it!
