Spiced Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie

 1 refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp shortening

Heat oven to 325.  Place pie crust in 9 inch glass pie plate.  In large bowl, beat corn syrup, sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and eggs with wire whisk.  Stir in pecans and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.  Spread evenly in crust lined plate.  Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning.  Bake 30 minutes.  Remove foil; bake 15-25 minutes longer or until pie is deep golden brown and filling is set.  Cool 15 minutes.  In small microwaveable bowl, microwave remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and the shortening uncovered for 1 minute; stir until smooth.  Drizzle chocolate over top of pie.  

Serves 8
