Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie... a family favorite!

This is the best pie. Everyone loves it.
Here's where I found the original.

Ingredients

• One 9" deep dish pie crust
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 10-oz bag chopped pecans
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (Who are we kidding? I put the whole bag in.)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).
2. Fit the pie crust into a 9" pie plate, trim and crimp the edge, and set it aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the sugar and the melted butter until light and creamy.
4. Beat in the eggs.
5. Add the corn syrup, salt, and vanilla and blend until well combined.
6. Spread the chopped pecans and the chocolate chips evently over the bottom of the crust. Then pour the filling on top.
7. Place in the oven and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (or as clean as a knife stuck into the center of a bunch of melted chocolate can come out)... about 50 to 60 minutes.
8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
9. Makes one 9" pie.
