Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired.

Stir in chocolate chips and pecan halves until evenly combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
