Units Scale

One 9-inch unbaked pie crust (I used pre-made frozen crust but you can certainly make your own)
6 oz (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups (360 ml) pecan pieces, chopped and toasted*
4 tbsp (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup (120 ml) light corn syrup
1/2 cup (120 ml) brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
to toast pecans, bake them at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes, or until they become fragrant.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Once the crust is cooled, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the crust.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the toasted pecan pieces until they are evenly coated with the egg mixture.
Pour the pecan mixture over the chocolate chips in the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the oven at 300 degrees F for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let the pie cool completely before serving.
Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a glass of milk for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

This pie is best served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor, so don’t skip this step.
