In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together until combined.
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Cut in the butter until it forms a shaggy dough.
½ cup cold butter
Stir in the ice water. You may need to add in additional ice water 1 teaspoon at a time as needed for the dough to come together.
¼ cup ice water
Turn the dough a couple times and pat into a disk on a floured surface.
Wrap in dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle.
Lay the dough over a 9-inch pie plate.
Fold the edges of the dough under and crimp.
Chill until firm.

Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten.
3 large eggs
Whisk in the brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, melted butter, and salt until combined.
¾ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Pour the egg mixture into a large saucepan, and cook, whisking regularly, just until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 3 minutes over medium.
Coarsely chop the pecans and stir into the egg mixture along with the chocolate chips.
2 cups pecans, ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
Bake on the lower third of the oven for about 35-45 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set.
If the pie crust begins to brown too quickly, cover with a pie shield or tent the crust with foil.
Transfer the pie to a wire cooling rack and let rest for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving.

Flour: To properly measure the flour, stir it to break it up. The lightly spoon into a measuring cup and level off.
Salt: Or a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) table salt in the crust and 1/4 teaspoon table salt in the filling.
Chocolate chips: Feel free to sub an equal amount of milk chocolate chips for a sweeter pie or bittersweet chocolate chips for a less sweet pie.
