• Bake until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in same large bowl, mix eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Add chocolate chips and pecans; spread over crust. Bake until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan before lifting out (using foil to lift). Cut into 32 bars (8 rows by 4 rows).

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by mixing corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, margarine, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in pecans.
• Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Spread filling evenly over the chocolate chip covered crust.

CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE WITH RUM

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt with a fork. Add butter and use a pastry blender (or two forks) to cut the butter into the flour mixture until incorporated and crumbles are no larger than small peas.
• Add buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough becomes moistened and shaggy and starts to come together. Don't add more buttermilk than you need to. Use your hands to knead the dough and form into a ball. Flatten it slightly into a disc, wrap in saran wrap, then chill for at least an hour.
• Once chilled, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a circle 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate, trim off the excess, tuck the edges under, then flute the edges. Put the crust back in the fridge while you make the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, rum, and salt. Whisk in the chocolate mixture until smooth. Fold in the 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans.
• Pour filling into the prepared pie crust, then arrange the pecan halves on top in concentric circles.
• Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes. I recommend tenting a piece of foil over the pie halfway through, then removing it for the last 5 minutes or so to prevent over-browning. Pie may rise up in the middle while baking and will still be slightly jiggly in the center when done - this is okay, it will flatten and set as it cools.
• Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Cover leftovers tightly with foil and store in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE PECAN BARS

Steps:

• For the crust: Adjust the oven rack to the bottom position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33 centimeter) baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the edges of the pan by a few inches on two sides (this will help you lift the bars out of the pan).
• In a food processor, pulse together the butter, flour, salt and sugar until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to pull from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, gather together, and pat into a rectangle. Roll the dough into a rectangle 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick that measures about 13 by 15 inches (33 by 38 centimeters). Trim the rough edges and ease the dough into the prepared pan, pressing it onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides (trim the dough more on the sides as needed). Prick the dough a couple times with a fork. Cover with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the dough starts to set up, about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and continue to bake until the crust is just golden, about 5 minutes more. Let cool completely.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Spread the pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then roughly chop.
• Beat the honey and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the eggs. Add in the melted butter and continue to beat. Add the flour, Bourbon, orange zest and vanilla. Sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips over the crust and pour the honey mixture over the top. Bake until the top of the filling is golden brown and the center sets up, 30 to 40 minutes. Cover and put in the refrigerator until cool. When ready to serve, cut into 12 to 24 bars.
