Chocolate Butterscotch Pecan Tart
I have a small confession to make… It’s a mortal sin in the blogging world, but I’m gonna come out and admit to it.
I am not a die-hard pumpkin everything fan. There I said it!
Will you still be my friend? Thanks so much 
I do love a good pumpkin pie, but honestly, will all the pumpkin cookies, brownies, cakes, crackers, frosting, drinks… well, I can’t stand it all. It’s too much.
So I decided that I wasn’t going to succumb to the pumpkin goddesses of blogland. Nope, I’m going with the no-fail Chocolate route!
I liked this fun twist of the sweet butterscotch added to the chocolate to make this nontraditional pecan pie. Once the chocolate and butterscotch cool they harden and you end up with all the pecans coated in the sweet concoction.
By the way – I am so excited to be headed down to the Mixed Conference! I’ll be sitting high on a mountain in Southern Virginia with 100 other bloggers all talking about food, photos, and social media. I can’t wait!

Cook time:

Thank you with a capital T! Always appreciated
I had a great weekend at Mixed!
I’m not a big fan of pumpkin everything too, and I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one! This chocolate tart of yours is making me drool. Thank you for the recipe!
Yeah… It can get overwhelming. I love a good pumpkin pie, but pumpkin everything is too much for me. Thanks for stopping by!
oh geez – this looks fantastic!!
Thanks Paula! It was very good! The perfect blend of sweet and nutty.
I’m with you on the pumpkin thing: I love sweets but have never been a huge fan of the onslaught of fall pumpkin desserts. I have just recently started making more breads and desserts with it, but I’d much rather go for this gorgeous chocolate butterscotch pecan tart that you made any day
Thanks so much. Everyone loved this tart! Enjoy it if you make it!
This looks SO good! I think it’s definitely going to make an appearance this Christmas
It was great! And it really was super easy to make. Enjoy it!
Wow, that looks much better than pumpkin pie Kayrn! I agree, I can only handle so much pumpkin, so this tart is definitely a nice change.
