I don't mean to brag but it would not be true, candid or transparent if I didn't share with you the secret. This is the best Chocolate Pecan Pie you will ever eat. Please tell me in the comments whether you agree!
For the pie:
In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the syrups all at once and beat for 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time until well combined and beat until the mixture is fluffy. Add flour and salt and beat for another minute.
Fold the pecans into the butter mixture or layer them over the top in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the bottom of the pie shell and gently pour the pecan mixture over the chips trying not to disturb them.
Bake the pie for 40 minutes on a baking pan covered with foil to keep the pie from spilling onto the oven floor. After 40 minutes, place a piece of aluminum foil (sprayed with cooking spray to keep it from sticking) over the top. Bake for an additional 40-45 minutes until pie is just set.
