For the Pie Crust (or use store-bought):
-
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
3–5 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
-
1 cup light corn syrup
-
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
-
3 large eggs
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
-
1 1/2 cups pecan halves or chopped pecans (toasted preferred)
Instructions
Make the Crust:
-
In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
-
Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until dough comes together.
-
Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
-
Roll out on floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp edges. Chill again while making filling.
Make the Filling:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Bake:
-
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is puffed and cracked.
-
Cool completely before slicing. The pie will continue to firm up as it cools.
