1 (10 inch) unbaked pie shell
1 c. pecans
3 oz. (80-100 proof) liqueur (I use brandy)
4 eggs
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/4 c. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick (4 oz.) butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix corn syrup, eggs, brown sugar, chocolate chips, pecans, liqueur, and vanilla. Melt the butter and add to the other ingredients. Pour into 10-inch pie shell. Bake for 1 hour or until filling rises and then dips in center.

NOTE: If one uses 3/4 of each of the above ingredients, mixture will exactly fill a 9-inch deep dish pie shell. Thaw pie shell first.
