1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. With a rolling pin, roll the pie crust to fit a 9″ deep dish pie plate. Press it into the plate and crimp the edges if desired.

4. In a separate bowl, add eggs, brown sugar, light corn syrup, vanilla, and melted butter. Whisk until blended.
5. Pour contents of bowl over pecans and chocolate in pie plate.
6. Pecans will rise to the top, but use a few extra to randomly place on top of filling. Do the same with extra chocolate chips.
7. Bake pie for 50 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
8. Cool pie for one hour on a pie rack before serving. After one hour, you may need to place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to help the middle set.
