Melt 1/2 cup butter and 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave. When it is cool, stir in 2 slightly beaten eggs and 1 cup of sugar. Add 1/2 cup of flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Stir in 1/2 cup coarsely broken pecan pieces (or walnuts) and turn into a prepared or store-bought chocolate wafer crumb crust (unbaked). Sprinkle on top another 1/2 cup of unbroken pecans (we lay them delicately in a swirl pattern from the outside in). Bake in a 300 degree oven 30 minutes (it seems it takes a LOT more than that). Cool before serving, or chill.
We like it served with fresh whipped cream.
A family favorite for many, many years.
