2.For filling:In a medium bowl, combine eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt.
3.In pastry shell, layer semisweet chocolate pieces, 1 cup coconut and walnut pieces. Pour egg mixture over all, spreading evenly. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pastry shell with foil.
