Welcome to Foodie Friday! Food is, without a doubt, one of my top 3 favorite things. And since this blog is in the spirit of sharing, I figured why not share some great food while I’m at it?


I’ll be honest- that post title is more than a little deceptive. This isn’t a post about your normal, everyday pecan pie. No, it’s about more than that. Much more. It’s about a pecan pie so delicious, so insanely perfect that it converted me from a Pecan Pie Hater to it’s #1 fan. I give you: Mini Chocolate Spice Pecan Pies (without corn syrup!).





As if that wasn’t enough, these little babies are made from pecans from my very own front yard; I’m not exaggerating when I say these pies can’t be beat.





Ingredients:
Pie
 • 2 eggs
 • 1/2 cup butter*
 • 1 cup light brown sugar
 • 1/4 cup white sugar
 • 1 pinch nutmeg
 • 1 pinch cinnamon
 • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
 •1 tbsp milk*
 •1 1/2 tsp vanilla
 •1 1/4 cup chopped pecans
 •1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Crust
 Martha Stewart can do no wrong in my eyes, so I referred to her Easy Pie Crust for this recipe.
 *Milk and butter aren’t things I really love consuming, so I substituted an equal amount of almond milk and Earth Balance.


Let’s Do This:
 •Preheat oven to 350
 •Beat eggs until foam forms
 •Stir in melted butter
 •Stir in dry ingredients(brown + white sugar + nutmeg + cinnamon + flour + pecans + chocolate chips)
 •Stir in remaining wet ingredients(milk + vanilla)
 •Pour into unbaked mini pie shells
 •Bake for 25-30 minutes
 •Eat them all
