1 prepared pie crust, fitted into pie pan and edges fluted
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1 1/2 cups walnut or pecan pieces

Stir together the first 5 ingredients until blended; stir in melted chocolate and nuts. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely. If you want to be wimpy about it, serve with a simple swirl of fresh whipped cream. For the courageous who want to put a chocolate craving to rest, serve with coffee ice cream and Java Chocolate Sauce!

Java Chocolate Sauce:
2 cups semi-sweet (or dark!) chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (or use instant espresso, prepared as directed)

Heat chocolate chips, cream and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat until chocolate and butter melt, stirring often. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in coffee. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
