Fudge Brownie Pie

Yield: 8 servings

Pastry for one 9" pie crust
4 ounces (2/3 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup granulate sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar, packed measure
½ cup milk
¼ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup chopped walnuts, as a garnish

Roll out the pastry and line a 9" pie pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan over very low heat warm the chocolate chips and butter until both are just melted. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, corn syrup, vanilla, eggs and salt. Beat with an electric beater until well blended. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts.

Pour into the prepared pie shell. Bake the pie at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes or until puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
