My comfort food list does not pretend to be healthy or heart-smart. So don’t give me any crap about it…
Tar Heel Pie
This is so sweet it almost gags you, but hey — it’s pie.
1 cup chocolate chips
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
Pour warm butter over chocolate chips and stir. Blend all remaining ingredients and stir into chocolate chip mixture. Pour into an unbaked pie shell. Bake in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 30-40 minutes — closer to 30 than 40. Don’t overcook. Best with real whipped cream. Don’t sully this fine recipe with Cool Whip.
