{Southern Chocolate Pie}

YUM! There is something about pies that remind me of the Holidays, and I am a HUGE fan of that time of year, so making pies like this in the dead of summer is very comforting 🙂

* Note: This recipe makes 2 pies, cut this recipe in half if you want just one.

4 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups sugar

1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips, melted

1 cup flour

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups chopped pecans

2 (9-inch) unbaked pie shells

Ice cream, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine eggs, sugar, and melted chocolate in large bowl. Add flour and mix well, stirring in melted butter, vanilla and pecans. Bake 50-60 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream. Freezes well!!
