List of Ingredients

1/3 c. chopped pecans
1 baked 9" pie shell
1/2 c. sweetened, condensed milk
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. margerine
2 tbsp. corn syrop
16 pecan halves
2/3 c. semi-sweet chocholate chips
2 tbsp. margerine



Recipe

Sprinkle chopped pecans over bottom of pie shell. Combine next 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in, bring to a boil. Keep stirring as it continues to boil for 5 minutes. Be careful because it sticks to bottom of pan, quite readily. Remove from heat. Slowly beat with spoon, about 2 minutes, until it starts to thicken, not too long or it will harden. When cool, carefully spoon over pecans. Visualizing pie in 8 wedges, place pecans around outside edge in an upright position against edge so there will be 2 in each wedge. These are the turtles feet. Push down into filling so they stay upright. Cool. Melt chocholate chips and butter in saucepan over low heat. Drizzle on pie.
