Ingredients

For the Crust

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons butter cold
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water

For the Pie

1 1/2 cups pecans
1/3 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
6 tablespoons butter melted
¾ cup dark corn syrup
4 eggs
2 tablespoons chocolate sauce plus more for serving
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

To make the crust, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until pea sized. Add just enough ice water until the dough comes together. Form into a ball with your hands, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights, dry beans, or rice. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool.
Stir together the pecans and chocolate chips and place them in the fully cooled crust. Whisk together the melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, chocolate sauce, brown sugar and salt. Pour over pecans and chocolate chips in the crust.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 30-40 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly. Let cool before slicing and serving. Drizzle with additional chocolate sauce before serving.
