Chocolate Pecan Pie

For a twist on the classic Pecan Pie, you can add a little chocolate—and who doesn’t love a little chocolate! The recipe is virtually the same as above, with one extra ingredient and a couple of extra (but worth-it) steps.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpouse flour
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
AND 4oz semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400-degrees

Next, melt chocolate in a (glass?) bowl over gently simmering water. Stir until just melted. Let chocolate cool for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy, and stir in melted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, white sugar and the flour; mix well. Add the milk, vanilla and nuts, then gently fold in melted chocolate.

Pour into an unbaked 9” pie shell. Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 400-degrees, then reduce temperature to 350-degrees and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until done.
