I tried the Chocolate Pie recipe (melted chocolate chips, eggs, melted butter, self-rising flour, pecans, vanilla)TWICE but it turned out like a brownie, over baked well before the 50-60 minutes recommended. I tried it in the order demonstrated on TV and the order recommended in the on-line recipe (they were different). Neither produced satisfactory results. It was an expensive mistake given the high cost of pecans. It was too disappointing to share at Thanksgiving.
