I love dark chocolate and pecan pie, so I thought I'd try this. I used Giardelli's bittersweet choc. chips and organic store bought crust. The crust looked too small, so I divided it up between the 2 crusts and there was enough, just a little lower than normal. Anyways, it baked in 50 minutes. It was very good, but seemed like the choc. took over the flavor. However, that may be bcz I divided it up. Will save and make again with a 9" crust. I still devoured it!
