Mini Chocolate Pecan Pies

These mini chocolate pecan pies are delicious and easy to make. They're a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving dessert table!

Believe it or not, I’d never eaten pecan pie until I made these little minis a few weeks ago. It has certainly been available to me before. I’m pretty sure that my father in-law makes it every Thanksgiving, which means that I’m around pecan pie at least once every other year, and I know other people go crazy for it. I can’t remember my mom ever making it, so maybe it boils down to the kind of thing where you don’t grow up eating a food, so it just never quite makes it onto your radar. Anyhow, a few months ago, I started thinking I might just give this pecan pie thing a whirl and see what all the fuss is about, see if it lives up to the hype. Since everything is better when it’s bite-sized, I made mini pies. And a little chocolate never hurts, so I tossed some mini chocolate chips in there too. And after eating a couple (ok, more like a dozen) or so of these two-bite beauties, I have to say that I’m a fan! I love the crunchy, toasty little bits of pecan, the rich chocolate, and the gooey brown sugar filling. They are super easy to make, and they look fun and cute on a Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving dessert table. Make a batch next week and you’ll be hit of Thursday’s dinner!

  1. Love this! My mom made these when I was younger, but the addition of the chocolate chips sounds awesome! I do a lot of cool stuff with my mini muffin tins (goat cheese pesto tarts are my fave!), so thanks for the inspiration. Read about you in O Magazine and am excited to check out your blog (plus we might be moving to Oregon). Cheers!
