Ingredients
For the Pie
- 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust Store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves For deeper flavor, toast them before adding
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and pecans evenly over the unbaked pie crust.
- Pour the syrup mixture over the chocolate chips and pecans in the crust.
Baking
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing it.
Notes
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Ensure the pie crust is well-chilled to prevent sogginess.
