Chocolate Pecan Pie

[Baker79]

I need to make a chocolate pecan pie for pie day Friday. It’s been years since I made a pecan pie and never a chocolate one. Most of the recipes I’ve looked at are basically the same. However there’s one in the American test kitchen’s pie book where they cook the filling before putting in the pie and back in the oven. I was wondering if anyone had done this recipe and how it worked? Was the extra work worth it?

I would make a regular pecan pie and stir some 1/2 inch chunks of real choc into the cold mix, that way you get melted choc in the slice, I wouldn't melt the choc into the mix, you lose the choc experience once its melted and scattered into a batter.
