Easy Chocolate Pecan Pie for Derby Day

Author: Kasey Trenum

Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Sugar 1/2 white, 1/2 brown
  • *It's not the end of the world if you only have one kind of sugar but I've found this to be the BEST sugar ratio
  • 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 6 oz Pecan Halves or Pieces Halves are prettier, but I usually go with pieces because it's easier to slice through
  • 1 Cup Corn Syrup
  • 1 Stick Melted Butter
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Frozen Pie Shells I use deep dish, so there's no chance of spilling over into the oven

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. In a medium glass mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
  • Use your hand mixer to beat in the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla and salt.
  • Add the chocolate chips and pecans to the bottom of each pie shell, and then pour half of the filling mixture over top of each pie.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.
  • Move them to the bottom rack about halfway through so the top edge of the crust won't get too crispy.
  • If not done, bake an extra 10 minutes.
  • Let it cool and serve, best served cold!
