• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup Hershey’s Hot Fudge Topping (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Roll out your pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

• Set aside while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well blended.

• Add the Hershey’s Hot Fudge Topping and whisk again until fully incorporated. The mixture should be glossy and slightly thick.

• Stir in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

3. Assemble the Pie:

• Pour the filling mixture into the prepared crust. Spread it evenly so the pecans are distributed throughout.

• If you like, drizzle a little extra hot fudge on top for extra richness before baking.

4. Bake the Pie:

• Place the pie on the center rack of your oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft.

• The pie will puff up slightly and then settle as it cools.

• If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil halfway through baking.

5. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before slicing. This helps the filling set properly.

• Serve warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of warm hot fudge and a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips for Success

• Warm your Hershey’s fudge slightly before mixing — it blends more easily into the batter.

• Toast your pecans for a few minutes before baking to enhance their flavor.

• Chill leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat slices briefly in the microwave before serving for that “freshly baked” taste.
