I have this pecan pie recipe I make. I think it's really good but I want to try chocolate pecan pie. I figure I can use my pecan pie recipe and just add some melted chocolate to the mix.
The question is, how much of what kind of chocolate?
So I did what I always do. I read a dozen or so recipes and try to spot a regularly occurring amount. No such luck. I found measurements of anywhere from 2 to 6 ounces or 1 to 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Also, several recipes suggested cocoa powder in various amounts.
Can you guys help me cut through these various options and come up with a reasonable choice? I don't want to bake 20 pies to get the right combo.
