8
ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package semisweet baking chocolate (4 squares to melt and 4 squares chopped)
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 deep-dish frozen 9 inch pie shell
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups pecan halves or 1 1/2 cups walnut halves
directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave 4 squares of chocolate and butter on High power until melted (1-2 minutes).
- Meanwhile, brush the bottom of the pie crust with beaten eggs using a pastry brush (inexpensive and indispensable!) Remove the bowl from the microwave and blend in eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla.
- Add the pecans and chopped chocolate, combining evenly.
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust and pop the pie in the oven (you may want to cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent it from burning) Bake for 55 minutes or test for doneness by inserting a knife 2 inches from the edge-it will come out clean if the pie is done.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack before slicing.

I'm a native Floridian (there's not many of us!) I currently hold the position of Domestic Goddess in the Stout household. I am blessed in that my husband is my soulmate. We share 3 remarkable children, a white cat and, most recently, a white puppy. In the future I plan to finish nursing school and maybe have a woodworking business on the side. Right now I enjoy restoring fatigued furniture, astronomy, and cooking, which brings me here. Oh! I started gardening this year, I love herbs since they are also useful in the kitchen- my favorite being basil.
