This recipe was given to me long ago by Nell Beall who used to be the housemother at the since razed Leming Hall on the university campus.  Over the years it has become a favorite at our house.  It's easy to make, but baking can be a little tricky.  If you overbake the pie it will still be good, but it will lose the silky texture which makes it outstanding.

Ingredients:

unbaked 9-inch pie shell
1 stick butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
4 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Melt butter and chocolate and cool slightly.  Add remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly.  Pour into pie shell and bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until top is crusty and filling is just set.
