Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie!

Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie!

I have a favorite pecan pie.  I think I posted it before but this one was officially a Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie….though there wasn’t much difference, except the addition of Chocolate Chips.  So, I thought I would share the new version.

This is another of those recipes that I have used for so long that I don’t remember who gave it to me.  But once I found it, I never strayed. 

Hope you enjoy! This time, I made it to serve at the Wellspring Kitchen Meal (soup kitchen).  But I was able to sneak a piece before it was served.  Picture isn’t great, but it will do.

Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Corn Syrup (optional: use half dark and half light)
• 3 eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 cups pecans halves (I don’t chop but you can)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (or more, if you like it really chocolaty)
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• dash of salt
• 1 pie shell ( I use the kind that you roll out from from the refrigerator section)

Directions:

• Melt the butter. 
• Blend in the corn syrup and eggs with a mixer. 
• Add in the sugar and salt. 
• Put the chocolate and pecans in the pie shell…..spreading them evenly. 
• Pour the pie filling on top. 

Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes.  (You might want to hide the pie shell edges with foil for the first part of the cooking process to keep if from getting too brown)
