STEP-1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds till smooth.
STEP-2
Whisk in the sugar, brown sugar, and salt till mixture is well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk till smooth.
STEP-3
Place pie dough in a 9 inch pie plate. Spread the chopped pecans in the bottom of the pie crust. Pour filling over the top. If desired, garnish pie with whole pecans.
STEP-4
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or till top is crackled and center of pie is no longer jiggly.
STEP-5
Cool for several hours or chill. Pie will set up as it cools.
