6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large whole eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 pre-baked 9-inch pie shellSet oven rack to lowest level. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread the pecans evenly on a baking tray and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.

Thoroughly stir, blending in the corn syrup, salt, eggs and vanilla. Return bowl to the simmering water; stir mixture until shiny and very warm to the touch.
Stir the chips and the pecans into the egg mixture. Pour the warm pecan filling into the prebaked pie shell. Bake until filling center is firm and jelly-like, about 1 hour.
