Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Grandma’s pie crust, or store-bought
- 1 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate, or chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecans, whole or chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Flute the edges and place the crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. Keep it there until the filling is ready.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a large bowl and mix until combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the pecans to the bottom of the chilled pie crust, followed by the chocolate.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the top of the pecans and chocolate.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven before lowering the temp to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, until the center of the pie still has just a slight wobble to it but is almost completely set.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a cooling rack before chilling in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
