Ingredients

1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 eggs lightly beaten
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
½ cup chocolate chips
2 cups pecan halves divided
Dough for a single 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, molasses, vanilla and salt.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Set aside 1 ¼ cups (about 57 pieces) of pecan halves for the top of the pie. Finely chop the remaining pecan halves.
Add the chopped pecans to the mixing bowl and stir until all the ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
Gently arrange the reserved pecan halves in a circle over the filling.
Bake the pie for 55-65 minutes or until the center is no longer wobbly. Check halfway through baking time to ensure the pie crust is not browning too quickly. If it is, cover the edges with aluminum foil for the duration.
Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

Storage, Freezing and Thawing

Storage. Once the pie has cooled, I like to store my chocolate chip pecan pie in a pie saver. If you don’t have a pie saver, loosely cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store the pie in the refrigerator and consume within four days.

Freezing. A baked pecan pie can be frozen for up to one month. Once the pie has cooled, carefully wrap the pie in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Be sure to place the pie on a level surface in the freezer where it won’t get knock around a lot to prevent breaking.

Thawing. Allow the frozen pie to come to room temperature in the refrigerator overnight. Thirty minutes before serving, set the pie out and allow it to come to room temperature.
