Chocolate Pecan Pie

Melt:

1/2 cup butter
6 oz chocolate chips

in a double boiler or microwave.

When cool, add:

2 slightly beaten eggs
1 cup sugar

Add:

1/2 cup flour
pinch of salt
1 t vanilla

Stir in:

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Pour into a prepared or store-bought chocolate wafer crust (unbaked).

Sprinkle on top another 1/2 cup unbroken pecans.

Bake at 300 for 30 minutes (I have to bake it a lot longer).

Cool before serving, or chill.

I like to serve it with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

My mother gave me the recipe about 20 years ago, and we make it almost every holiday season. It's very sweet and chocolaty!!
