Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Make the crust: mix flour, salt, and butter, add water, chill, and roll out.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Whisk corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Toast pecans before baking for richer flavor.
Use dark chocolate chips for a deeper, less sweet filling.
Pie can be made 1 day in advance and tastes even better the next day.
