Fudgy Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie

• This pie can be baked in a 10 inch tart pan or a 9 inch deep dish pie pan. A 10 inch tart pan will yield a thinner pie and may need slightly less time to bake. If you bake this pie in a 9-inch deep pie pan increase the baking time to 45-50 minutes.
• It's well worth the small amount of effort it takes to roast the pecans for a deeper flavor.
• While I use dark chocolate chips, you could adapt using semi-sweet or milk chocolate if needed. I highly recommend the deep dark chocolate flavor.
• You can enjoy this pie warm with vanilla ice cream or with a big dollop of fresh whipped cream.
