-----------------------------------DOUGH----------------------------------- 
    1/2 lb Butter 
    1/2 lb Cream cheese 
      2 ts Vanilla 
      2 c  Flour 
 
----------------------------------FILLING---------------------------------- 
      1 c  Pecans 
      4 tb Unsalted butter 
      2    Eggs 
      1 c  Dark corn syrup 
    1/4 c  Molasses 
    1/2 c  Brown sugar 
      1 ts Vanilla extract 
    1/4 c  Chocolate chips (or more) 
  
  FOR DOUGH: CREAM BUTTER, CREAM CHEESE and vanilla together in a mixer or 
  processor. Reduce speed to low and add the flour. Mix until just 
  incorporated. Remove the dough, form into three balls and wrap in plastic 
  wrap. Chill one hour before using. Uncooked dough can be frozen up to two 
  months. Freeze uncooked balls of dough or freeze dough in pie tins. Makes 
  three 10-inch pies. 
  FOR FILLING: MIX PECANS AND BUTTER in a small saucepan over medium heat and 
  cook until butter turns a golden color. Remove from heat and set aside. In 
  a mixing bowl combine eggs, corn syrup, molasses, brown sugar and vanilla. 
  Mix until smooth and then mix in the pecans and butter. Pour this filling 
  into the pie crust and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Place on the 
  middle rack of a preheated 350F oven and bake until the center of the pie 
  is set, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool 
  before serving.
