Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and prepare a standard 9-inch pie crust, placing it in a pie dish.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the 4 semisweet chocolate squares with a tablespoon of margarine or butter until smooth.
  3. Prepare the base for the pie by whisking together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  4. Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and syrup mixture until fully incorporated and glossy.
  5. Fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  6. Pour the chocolate-pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, being careful not to spill over the edges.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.
