Name: Chocolate Pretzel Pecan Pie
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 1 pie crust; 2 large eggs; 1 c. light corn syrup; 2 tbsp. unsalted butter; 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract; 1/2 c. packed light brown sugar; 1 tsp. grated orange zest; 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon; 1/4 tsp. kosher salt; 2 c. pecans; 3/4 c. mini pretzels; 3/4 c. bittersweet or dark chocolate chips (we used Ghirardelli)

Step 1Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhang under itself to create a thicker rim of dough and crimp as desired. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Step 2In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the pecans, pretzels, and chocolate chips. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 3Cover the pie with foil and bake until the filling is puffed and the center is just set, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
