Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. In the bottom of the pie crust, scatter the chocolate chunks followed by the chopped pecans. In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, butter and flour until well combined. Pour the filling evenly over the chocolate chunks and pecans. If desired, decorate with whole pecan halves placed lightly on top of the filling.

Bake for 70 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is lightly browned. To prevent excessive browning of the crust, tent the pie with foil after approximately 20 minutes in the oven. Once baked, let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least an hour. Delicious served both warm and at room temperature.
