Chocolate Pecan Pie

First, you need to make your favorite pie crust recipe for a one-crust pie.  My faithful "go-to" is Pillsbury pre-made.  The reason the pre-made is my favorite is that when it is doctored slightly, it is delicious.

​Heat oven to 375 (F)

Pie Filling:

2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup pecan halves or broken pieces
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, corn syrup, brandy, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the eggs with mixer. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excess browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.  
•  Bake pie 40 to 50 minutes or until set. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 2 hours until chilled.

Enjoy...especially with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (most assuredly low calorie and low fat).  ;-)
