Chocolate Pecan Pie

Here is a variation on Pecan Pie. It is just as easy to make as pecan pie. I actually made my pecan pie, then put it in the oven and proceded to begin making this pie. By the time I got it all mixed and ready to go, it was perfect timing to throw it in the oven along with the regular pecan pie (they cook at the same temperature, but for different times).

1 unbaked pie crust
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup speed 6 1 min
scrape bowl
speed 4
3 squares melted unsweetened chocolate
beat 1 min
speed stir
2 cups pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine eggs, sugar and corn syrup and mix on high speed for one minute. Scrape the side of the bowl. Add melted chocolate and beat on medium speed for one minute. Stir in pecan halves. Pour mixture in unbaked pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes until soft in the center.
