Notes
Pie Crust : This recipe has been made and tested with a Pillsbury Premade Refrigerated Pie Crust. They come in a 14.1 oz sized box which contains two 9-inch crusts. Just unroll one of the crusts and place it inside a 9-inch pie dish. Leave the edges as is or crimp them between two fingers.
Pecans : Measure 2 cups of pecan halves and then roughly chop them.
Chocolate Chips : I like to use a mix of milk chocolate chip + semi-sweet chocolate chips; so 1/2 cup each. You can use any combination you prefer or any variety such as milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips.
