Chocolate Pecan Pie

This is one of my brother's favorite fall recipes. When he found out I was making it for Thanksgiving this year, he asked me to make two so he could have some leftovers. This pie is surprisingly easy and quite delicious!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pecans

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (I cheat and buy the crust premade but you can make your own)

4 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup corn syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch salt

Form the crust on a pie dish or tin.

Pour in the pecans.

Pour in the chocolate chips. Mix the chips and pecans to try to make them even throughout the crust.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

Add the sugar and brown sugar. Mix well.

Add the corn syrup. 

Tip - you may want to use a spoon because the syrup likes to stick to the bottom of the measuring cup.

Add the vanilla and salt.

Mix well.

Add the mixture to the pie crust.

I suggest putting the pie on a baking sheet. I've learned the hard way that the mixture will spill over in the oven  if you are not extremely careful. Using a baking sheet avoids this risk.

Put the pie in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until the pie sets.

Make sure to let the pie cool for at least a half hour before serving!
