  This was a real winner with the family after a roast lunch recently. Easy to make and I must admit I didn't have enough maple syrup so topped up the quantity with golden syrup and it was fine. Delicious slightly warm or straight from the fridge with cream. Very rich, but worth it. Will definately make it again.

  Could anyone tell me if this would turn out well if I made it a while before I wanted it and froze it?

  I found that the recipie made too much filling to fit into my 8 inch tin and when I made it again, it filled my 9.5 inch pie dish!

  I used plain chocolate instead of dark and did the same as surfnirvana; topped up the maple syrup with a bit of golden syrup as I didn't have enough of the former. Tatsed the wet mixture before baking and it was really chocolatey and nutty, but after baking there was hardly any sweetness. Couldn't taste the maple and the chocolate wasn't even chocolatey. Very disappointed. I'll stick to traditional maple pecan pie. Much better, and less faffing!

  Lovely tart! I added a bit of maple extract to boost the flavour as I also needed to top the maple syrup quantity up with some syrup (bottle was only 180ml). I found the filling far too much for one tart and was able to make additional 3 tartlets. Although, I might caution against rolling the pastry out too thin as the filling is very runny and tends to soak through, even when blind baked. If you're not fussed about the maple flavour, try the pecan brownie tart. Ultra easy and gorgeous!

  Love this- the chocolate, maple and pecan go brilliantly together. Perfect for any chocolate-and-nut-lover!

  It was delicious and... a good maple syrup can make the difference. It's definitely a winner with my family! And it's so easy to make! (I would like to try make it once with home made pastry, too. Something tells me it will be even better!)

  Followed the recipe to the letter and was an instant hit at a dinner party - goes well with a blob of vanilla ice cream too! Will definitely make again

  This one is in the oven as I type. I felt I had to comment though on the fact that I have sooo much filing left over. Good job the pastry was on offer in the supermarket and I have 2 lots. I'm hoping the family do like it as I'll soon have two tarts for Christmas day!
