• Preheat oven to 325ºF

• Whisk eggs and add brown sugar, corn syrup, and flour until fully incorporated.

• Dust the chocolate chips with a bit of flour before adding them to the pie to help keep them from sinking to the bottom. Add chocolate chips and pecans and give it a good stir

• Pour into prepared pie shell and bake in center of oven for 60 minutes

Notes:

• I added 1 1/2 cups pecans to the recipe because I like it loaded with pecans. You can cut back and go for as little as 1/4 cup if you prefer it that way

• Dust the chocolate chips with a bit of flour before adding them to the pie to help keep them from sinking to the bottom.

• Serving suggestion: Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream
