  3. Mix the corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a whisk until smooth.

  4. Take the crust out of the freezer and sprinkle1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cup pecans over the crust.

  5. Pour filling into the pie crust and top with remaining pecans and chocolate chips.

  6. Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk.

  7. Bake on center rack of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until the center of pie springs back when tapped. (If the pie crust is browning too quickly, cover edges of pie with foil.)

  8. Let pie cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving.
