Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and prepare a standard 9-inch pie crust, placing it in a pie dish.
  2. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, then chop them coarsely.
  3. Melt the semisweet chocolate squares in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate with your preferred pie filling base (typically eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter) until fully combined and glossy.
  5. Fold the toasted pecans into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  6. Pour the chocolate-pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  8. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
