Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or leave them out entirely for a nut-free version. If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, increase the chocolate chips to 8 oz. To prevent the crust from getting soggy, bake it for a few minutes before adding the filling.
Serving Suggestions
This Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie is delightful served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Mom's Huckleberry Pudding for a sweet finish. For a festive touch, consider sprinkling some sea salt on top before serving or adding a side of fresh berries for a pop of color.
