This spiced-up version of the classic pecan pie is so, so good. The filling is made from melted chocolate, toasted nuts, maple syrup, and a handful of spice, lending to a surprisingly flavorful tart that is just stunning.
This tart is an upgraded version of the classic pecan pie. I ditched using corn syrup in this recipe(an ingredient commonly used in pecan pie) since I wanted something more flavorful. I opted for using maple syrup instead! The result was a beautifully flavored tart with a bunch of flavor coming from both spices and syrup.
