Pour into unbaked thawed pie crust. Place pie on a baking sheet (makes it easy to move in and out of the oven). Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the edge and center comes out clean.

Allow pie to set up/cool for 20 minutes, then serve! * This goes great with ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
Tips and Tricks
Pie Crust: If you don't have a deep dish pie crust, remove ½ cup of batter. I've used premade regular, premade deep dish, and the premade pie crust that you place in your own pie dish- all work great!
*Nuts add stability to the pie and if you omit them, I recommend increasing the flour to ¾ cup and letting the pie cool completely to it sets.
*Swap out the chocolate chips for M&Ms
This is best eaten warm. As the pie cools the chocolate chips tend to sink to the bottom but with a quick reheat the chocolate melts and you don't notice them just at the bottom.
