1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter, cut in cubes, chilled

6 tablespoons ice cold water

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

 

CHOCOLATE PECAN TOPPING

DIRECTIONS FOR THE CRUST

1.Combine flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in large bowl or bowl of food processor. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with pastry blender or 2 knives; if using food processor, add using a quick pulse, until mixture is the size of peas.

2.Add water, a little at a time, tossing lightly with fork, or pulsing food processor only a few times, until dough is moist enough to hold together when pressed together.

3.Turn onto lightly floured surface; press into ball. Flatten ball; fold in half 3 times. (Handle dough as little as possible.) Shape into flattened round, wrap tightly in plastic wrap; chill at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

4.Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch pie plate by loosely rolling around rolling pin. Center rolling pin over pie plate; unroll, easing dough into pie plate.

5.Trim edges of dough, leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edge under. Flute dough as desired. Cover with plastic wrap and chill while preparing filling.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR THE FILLING

2.Combine eggs, syrup, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in large bowl.

3.Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM (50% power). Stir at 30 second intervals. Heat just until melted.
