"Superb. I don't understand the negative reviews. I've made many pecan pies and this one is the easiest and tastiest I've made. Semi-sweet chips ARE the right chips to use. No, it's not going to have the same creamy consistency of a regular pecan pie...because IT'S NOT a regular pecan pie, it's a chocolate pecan pie that calls for half the amount of corn syrup of a typical pecan pie and no butter. In my opinion (and I don't have a huge sweet tooth) it's NOT too sweet or too rich. It's a pecan pie not a pound cake, pecan pies are sweet! Yes, the chocolate makes it rich, but that just means you don't need to eat a piece the size of Texas. My only advice is to cover the edges with foil until the last 15 minutes or so. Mine took 55 minutes and it was crisp on top and perfectly set. Everyone at the party asked me for the recipe. Delicious!
