| This pie makes for one happy husband :) |
Nothing says Southern like a warm and gooey chocolate chip pecan pie. Believe it or not at first I wasn't even sure that I would like it! Luckily growing up my mama taught me some manners and this time politely trying something a guest brings to your table paid off big time! I was first introduced to this heavenly desert when we invited two of our good friends over for a week-night dinner. Being brought up the right way herself, my friend Courtney made a desert to go with our dinner. When she came it she sat it on the kitchen counter and I asked what she had brought, "chocolate chip pecan pie" she said. In my head I am thinking
great I really do not like pecan pie but was I in for a surprise. After the dinner plates were cleared away we broke out the pie. My husband whose favorite pie in the whole world is pecan was super pumped to try Courtney's pie and got a gigantic slice, I on the other hand only took a small ensie piece. I nervously raised the fork to my mouth and
OH MY LORD it was good! Thanks to Courtney and my mama's manners it is now tied for my favorite pie in the whole world and I can't keep it all to myself.
Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
1 unbaked pie shell
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup all purpose (plain) flour
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla ( I just pour some in)
1 stick of butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ( I just fill the 1 cup measuring cup up all the way)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Mix sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla together ( I just use a whisk, no need to break out the mixer!) Melt the stick of butter and let it cool for a few seconds. Pour into the sugar mixture, stir well and add chocolate chips and pecans. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Walllla that is IT! How easy is that?! At out house we like it best right out of the oven with an ice cold glass of milk.
