Equipment

Ingredients

2¼ cups pecans divided
1 cup chocolate chips
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 slightly baked pie crus

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
While the oven is heating, make or roll out the crust into a 9" pie dish. Crimp or press the edges and prick the bottom of the shell with a fork, to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 8 minutes to help the bottom of the crust set.
Once the pie crust has partially baked, spread 1-3/4 cups of pecans in the bottom.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the nuts, trying to cover as much of the surface as possible.
Using the remaining pecans, create an even layer on the top of the pie.
In a medium measuring cup, whisk the eggs, sugars, syrup, and vanilla.
Pour over the top of the pie, covering the the nuts with the liquid.
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the center is set.
Cool completely and serve.

Notes

Ideally, you should use an instant read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees your pie is done.

Be sure to cover the edges of the pie crust with foil or a pie shield to keep them from burning.
