Ingredients
Crust:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup crushed pecans
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup water
Filling:
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups chopped sliced, or halved pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, or food processor, gently combine butter, flour, pecan crumbs, and salt. Slowly add in water, one tablespoon at a time until it is well combined and moistened.
- Press the crust into a 9x13 baking pan, and bake for 5-10 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, or in a small saucepan on the stove.
- Once it is melted add to bowl with the syrup, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and pecans and stir until combined.
- Pour evenly over the crust.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake until the filling sets, about 30 minutes. Allow the filling to cool to finish setting before cutting.
- Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- If you want a thicker crust, just double the recipe.
- You can use regular pie crust for this, but I highly suggest using the one listed.
- You can switch out with any chocolate that you like.
- This recipe can be frozen, see my tips above.
- This needs to completely cool before slicing.
- We like to chop our pecans for this recipe, as it makes them easier to cut and stay in a square shape form.
- Do not forget to pre bake the crust first, don't try to bake all together as the crust will not get done and you will have a mess.
