How to Make Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie – Rich & Irresistible

Step 1: Preheat Oven

In a medium bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.

Step 3: Assemble Pie
Place pecans evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Pour chocolate-sweet mixture over the pecans.
