From Our Recipe Box to Yours...

     So, I actually cleaned out a box the other day!! Amazing. I know. It was a box of papers that I had been saving....Needless to say, I was able to get it down to half its original size. Better, but not gone. It's a start.
     Anyway, as I was going through the papers, I ran across a newspaper clipping and wondered why I had saved it. Then, I realized there was a recipe on it that looked amazing!! Here it is from a 2013 issue of AgriNews. Who would have thought??

DECADENT CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE

Serves:10

Ingredients:

1 refigerated pie crust, (from 14.1 ounce package)
1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 T. milk
4 eggs
3 T. butter, melted
2 tsp. McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
1 C. dark corn syrup
1 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. McCormick Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. McCormick Ground Allspice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. pecan halves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line 9 inch deep dish pie plate with pie crust. Bake 7 minutes. Remove crust from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325F.
2. Meanwhile, microwave chocolate chips and milk in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour chocolate evenly over crust.
3. Beat eggs in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Slowly pour mixture over chocolate layer. Place ring of foil around edges of crust to prevent overbrowning.
4. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is puffed and center is still soft enough to move when shaken gently. Cool completely on wire rack.

Pie is the perfect dessert to celebrate any occasion! Like the weekend....
