Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, flour, eggs, melted margarine, vanilla, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and pecans in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 45 to 50 minutes until set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. You can also replace the margarine with unsalted butter for a creamier texture. Be sure to keep an eye on the pie in the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a delightful breakfast treat, consider serving it alongside Janet'S Good Morning Rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, cover the chocolate chip pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze slices individually, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag, for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
