1. Preheat & Prepare the Crust

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp edges as desired and set aside.

2. Melt Chocolate & Butter

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Let cool slightly.

3. Mix the Filling

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and corn syrup until smooth.
• Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.

4. Assemble the Pie

• Sprinkle pecan halves evenly over the unbaked pie crust.
• Pour the chocolate filling over the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated.

5. Bake the Pie

• Place the pie in the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still jiggles a bit.
• If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield.

6. Cool & Serve

• Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing.
• Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
