Deb's Hazelnut Chocolate Pecan Pie

Submitted by Debloves2cook

"What a happy creation this turned out to be! It is a new little twist on an old standard pecan pie recipe. I guess I was inspired by the late night cooking muse. This became highly complimented and the recipe requested at our Thanksgiving Dinner this year. Note: Prep time does NOT include preparing/making the pie crust. I use the roll out pie shell dough from Pillsbury."
