Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 9-inch pie dish with the crust.
  2. Toast the pecan halves on a baking sheet in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt, then fold in the melted chocolate.
