Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

2 store bought pie dough rounds
1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 whole egg
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10-15 whole pecans for garnish
1 whole egg, beaten for egg wash

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place one of the pie dough rounds onto a pizza stone or a sheet pan, flouring bottom generously.
With the other dough round, cut into 1 1/2 inch strips with a fluted cutter, and make long twists.  Set on floured surface.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and the butter.
Add the pecans, sugar, 1 egg, corn syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate mixture onto the round dough, leaving 2 inches around edges.
Place the dough twists on top of the filling, criss crossing, making a lattice pattern.
Fold the edges over and crimp making a pretty border.
In each empty square of lattice, place a whole pecan.
Brush the egg wash over all the crust.
Bake for 28 - 30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

I have realized some new issues from your web page about computers. Another thing I have always imagined is that computer systems have become a product that each home must have for many people reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize the home, pay bills, search for information, study, focus on music and in some cases watch tv programs. An innovative way to complete all of these tasks has been a mobile computer. These computers are mobile, small, highly effective and lightweight.

This is absolutely DELICIOUS! So easy to make, and because it is "rustic" no need to worry about perfection! I was low on pecans, so I did half pecans and half toasted hazelnuts...YUM! This is my go to desert recipe. Thank you Paula for sharing such great recipes with us. Hugs! Jen
