There’s So Much To Love About Chocolate Chip Toffee Pecan Pie

This pie is reminiscent of a Derby Pie and the addition of toffee chips adds another dimension of flavor. The toffee melts while the pie is baking and mingles with the sugar and butter to form a gooey caramel layer. One bite and you’ll understand how that small addition takes this pie over-the-top.

Helpful Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie

  • Southern pecans shine in this pie but  you can use walnuts or any of your favorite nuts in their place.
  • I recommend that you use a frozen pie crust due to the length of time it requires to bake. It helps keep the edges from over baking.
  • If you use a homemade crust, check it halfway through baking and cover the edges of the crust, if needed to avoid over browning.
  • The chocolate ganache drizzle is gilding the lily, but it’s so very good.
  • Chocolate ganache is optional, but ice cream isn’t.

 Can This Pie Be Made In Advance?

Yes, it can be made in advance. When doing so, allow it to cool completely, then reheat each piece and drizzle with chocolate ganache just before serving.

  1. When you say to make a day ahead to let it completely cool, do you mean to refrigerate it?

    1. You can cover and chill for the most clean slice of pie, but it can be left at room temperature also.
