A delightful twist on the classic pecan pie, featuring a rich chocolate layer and a buttery crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the tart.
Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
Preheating the baking sheet helps the crust bake evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a consistent filling.
Arrange the pecan halves in the bottom of the pie crust, then sprinkle the chocolate chips over them.
Arranging the pecans neatly creates a visually appealing tart.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring even coverage.
Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the arrangement of pecans and chocolate.
Place the pie dish on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness after 45 minutes.
The tart is done when the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set properly for clean slices.
