Every Southern cook must be able to serve up a delicious pecan pie! This is a great and easy one—no electric mixer needed. I always double the recipe, freeze one, and serve the other. I have gone through many pecan pie recipes in my life, and this one, without a doubt, is the best. It is not to be confused with a chocolate pecan pie, however. The chocolate chips do not melt, but are an added treat when eating the pie.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup light brown sugar

  • ¾ cup light corn syrup

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted (I use sweet cream.)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 2 cups chopped shelled pecans

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 premade deep-dish pie shell

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, syrup, salt, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well. I do this by hand and do not use an electric mixer.

  3. Mix pecans and chocolate chips together in a separate dish so they are evenly distributed.

  4. Spread nuts and chocolate over the bottom of the pie shell. Pour egg mixture over top.

  5. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake another 25 to 30 min. The key is to make sure the middle of the pie doesn’t “jiggle” or move when done.
