What makes the Cracker Barrel Chocolate Pecan Pie so delicious?

If you love pecan pie, and you are a chocolate lover, this is a must-make pie. This pie features semi-sweet chocolate chips so the chocolate adds just a touch of sweetness. This pie is decadent, rich pie, that is perfect for the last course of your meal. The Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is one of everyone’s favorite restaurants to order a pie from.

Why you should try this Cracker Barrel Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe

When people tell me homemade pie is difficult to make, I always tell them to start with a pecan pie. If you can measure, and stir, guess what, you can make a pecan pie.

If you like, you can start with a pre-made pie crust. I like the refrigerated ones you buy at the store, I think they taste better than the frozen ones. Frozen ones will work too, but I think the refrigerated ones taste a little better.

What can you serve this pie with?

More pie 😉 I love to serve this pie to my chocolate lovers for the holidays along with a pumpkin pie, or even an old-fashioned American apple pie. I love to serve up large slices with a dollop of whipped cream when I serve this pie.

How long will this pie last? How do you store a pecan pie?

This pie will last for 2 to 3 days when left out at room temperature. I simply lightly cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and leave this pie out on my countertop. You could freeze this pie if you double-wrap it with plastic wrap for up to 3 months.

    Steph,

    This is my “go to” pecan pie recipe every year. It’s a hit every time I prepare it. I found it about three years ago when I found myself salivating for it every year and had to wait for Crackerbarrel to start selling them. I searched for the copycat version and there you were! Thanks for your creativity and most of all for sharing.
