Gave as gifts for the holidays and ate one out of the pan on the couch with whip cream! Delish!

I wish I could give this recipe more stars. It was phenomenal!!! I followed the recipe pretty much as written, except that I used all pecans as that was all I had. I probably ended up putting in a little more than the amount of chile pepper called for, too. But it was simply fabulous - gooey and chocolatey with just a little kick of something different. This is a keeper for sure. Thanks for sharing, Galley Wench!

This pie is just amazing! 10 stars! It is every naughty thing you could ask for in a pie. Chocolately & nutty, with a gooey caramel like filling. YUM! Really is best served warm, and it doesn't even need whipped cream or ice cream it is that good. Thanks so much for posting! Nick's Mom
