Salted Chocolate Pecan Pie – Or How To Become Pie-abetic

Salted Chocolate Pecan Pie.

After a weekend filled with adventuring, hanging with the wee fuzzball, and getting to spend some quality time with friends, I figured I should somehow mark the occasion. But, how does one mark such a monumentally awesome weekend? I asked myself. The answer was pretty much instantaneous.

Pie¹.

And just like that I spent the afternoon making pies for yet another awesome dinner with friends this eve.

Given the success of my previous pumpkin pie adventure, I decided that more pumpkin pies were necessary. Feeling adventurous, I also opted to try my hand at a dairy free pecan pie. Being the resourceful fellow that I am², I queried the all-powerful and all-knowing Google. After scanning a few³ recipes, I settled on this one. I did however modify the recipe slightly (as indicated below). The result: a deliciously delicious one way trip to a potential diabetic coma known as Dan’s Dairy Free Salted Chocolate Pecan Pie.

I know. Saying it makes me salivate too.

¹ Pie pretty much is the answer to anything. I don’t think I should have to tell you to write that down, but perhaps you should just for good measure.

² Read lazy.

³ In this case few means 2.
