Earlier this week, we discovered a vintage recipe for the Karo® Syrup Fruitcake Recipe which we found among my mother-in-law’s recipe stash.

It was featured in “Recipes for Happy Holidays and Goodies for Giving”, an advertising booklet dating back to the late forties or early fifties.

Today, we discovered yet another classic with Karo® syrup as one of the main ingredients. In fact, this recipe combines the two family favorites – chocolate and pecan pie.

You guessed it…it’s the

Karo® Chocolate Pecan Pie

  • 3 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 cup Karo® Syrup, light/red label or dark/blue label
  • 1 (4 ounce) package of Baker’s® German® Sweet Chocolate or 4 squares (equivalent to 4 ounces) of Baker’s® Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted (use butter ;0)
  • 1 teaspoon Rodelle® pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell (I use Pillsbury® ready made pie shells)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir the eggs, the corn syrup of your choice, the sugar, the melted butter and the vanilla until well blended.

Stir in the pecans. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted between the center and the edge comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack.

Makes 8 servings. Makes fewer than 8 servings when set on our holiday table.

Note: We chopped about 1/3 of the pecan pieces and spread them evenly on the bottom of the pastry shell before adding the liquid mixture. This way the pecans are spread throughout the pie and don’t just float up to the top.

Nearly every famous chef has their own variation of a chocolate pecan pie.
