Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 ½ cups Texas pecans - Toasted
  • 1 cup Dark chocolate chips - Spread on crust bottom
  • 1 cup Corn syrup - Light
  • 1 cup Brown sugar - Packed
  • 3 large Eggs - Room temp if possible
  • 4 tablespoon Butter - Melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
Crust
  • 1 Unbaked pie shell - 9-inch

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch pie dish (Unbaked pie crust inside)
  • 1 Baking sheet (For toasting pecans)
  • 1 Large mixing bowl (For filling)
  • 1 Whisk (To mix filling)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and spread dark chocolate chips evenly across the bottom.
  2. Place pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add toasted pecans over the chocolate chips, then slowly pour the filling over the nuts. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
