1
Heat oven to 350°F. Prick bottom and sides of pie crust with fork. Press heavy-duty aluminum foil onto bottom and around side of pie crust; fill with uncooked rice or beans. Bake 10 minutes; remove foil and rice. Bake additional 7 minutes or until pale golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
2
Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Stir together chocolate chips, pecans and flour in medium bowl; set aside.
Tip
Garnish each serving with sweetened whipped cream, toasted pecans and additional chocolate chips.
3
Beat butter and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in corn syrup, vanilla and salt, beating just until blended. (Mixture may look curdled). Stir in pecan mixture. Pour mixture into baked pie crust.
4
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until outer edges of pie are set and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with just melted chocolate. Center will still be jiggly. Cool completely on wire rack. Cover; store up to 2 days at room temperature or if storing longer, refrigerate.
