- 1 9-inch pie pastry, unbaked
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, or pecans
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

- Pinch salt
- 4 ounces butter, melted, cooled slightly
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- Prepare the pie shell. Fit pie pastry in a 9-inch pie pan and flute as desired. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and walnuts in the unbaked pie crust.
