by Angie Barrett October-21-2012

Ingredients

• 1 store bought or homemade pie crust dough
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecan halves (for the top of the pie)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for the top of the pie)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Press pie dough into a 9- inch pie dish. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the brown sugar, sugar and eggs. Mix until everything is combined and creamy.
• Mix in the melted butter, milk, flour and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
• Slowly mix in 2 cups chopped pecans and 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
• Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Sprinkle, or neatly arrange, pecan halves over the top of the pie. Sprinkle ¼ cup mini chocolate chips over the top of the pie.
• Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes or until done. When the pie is done, the edges should be firm with little bit of a jiggle in the middle of the pie. 
• Set the pie on a wire rack and let cook for 10 minutes or so. Middle of pie will firm up with cooling.
