Every year, my mom takes pie requests from the men in the family for Thanksgiving. Last year, my husband requested a pecan pie and so my mom made this recipe from Emeril... And let me tell you it is "to die for". I have made it a few times since then (it's incredibly easy to make esp. when you use a ready made crust) and I have yet to hear anyone say they didn't like it.
*Recipe from Emeril Lagasse*
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups pecans
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spread the pecan pieces and the chocolate chips evenly on the bottom of the pie shell.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Pour the filling over the pecans. Bake until the filling sets, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serving suggestions include: Caramel or confectioners' sugar on top or with vanilla ice cream. We never served it with any as it is pretty perfect on its own.

I made this last night for our office Thanksgiving! :o) It was super easy and quick to throw together. My only suggestion would be to check it after 35 or 40 minutes...I left it in the entire 50 minutes and it was a little overdone. Really tasty though!!
