US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Move oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Re-crimp the edges of the thawed pie crust (I like to do this to give the pie more of a “homemade” look).
    Thaw the pie shell and re-crimp the edges.

MAKE FILLING:

  • In a medium bowl whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, salt, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla. Fold in pecans and chocolate pieces. Pour filling into pie crust.
    Pour the filling into the pie crust.
  • Bake the pie for 25 minutes, and then remove the pie from the oven, and cover it with foil. Put the pie back into the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until filling is set and jiggles ever so slightly.
  • Place pie on a wire rack, and cool to room temperature for 4 hours. Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
    Bake until the pie is set. Cool the pie for 4 hours and then slice and serve.
