This pie is a twist on the classic Pecan Pie. I was shopping for some pecans and holy cow they are expensive! At $11.99 a pound for pecans, the walnuts were much cheaper at $7.49 a pound, so I axed plans for a pecan pie for something more economical.

Basic Pie Crust (homemade for best taste)
3 Eggs
1 C Corn syrup
1/2 C Granular Sugar
1 Tbsp. Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 C Butter - melted
2 oz. Unsweetened chocolate - melted
1 3/4 C Walnut pieces
Preheat oven to 425 Degrees. Roll out pie dough in 9 in. pie pan. In large bowl beat eggs, add in corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, salt & butter, beat until evenly mixed. Add in melted chocolate and walnut pieces. Pour into unbaked pie shell, bake at 425 Degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees (at this point I covered the edges of the pie crust to prevent them from getting too dark). Continue to bake 20-25 min. longer until the filling has slightly puffed up with the edges set but the center slightly wobbles. Let cool completely. Serve warm or at room temp for best taste.

OH MY GOD. Yum.
Looks awesome. I have pecans in my freezer that I bought last year around the holidays when they were bargain priced. But using walnuts is a great idea when pecans aren't available inexpensively. Thanks for sharing!
