Traditional pecan pie gets a delicious flavor update, with honey's sweet-tangy touch countered by bittersweet chocolate. If you'd like a more casual pie, you can make this in a 9-inch pie plate; you'll probably need to bake the filling an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove pie weights and foil; cool crust on a wire rack.

  • Combine corn syrup and next 6 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl, stirring until well combined. Gently fold in pecans. Pour pecan mixture over crust. Bake in lowest part of oven at 350° for 35 minutes or until set. Cool for 20 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove sides of tart pan; slide tart onto a serving platter.

  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 1 minute or until chocolate melts, stirring every 15 seconds. Drizzle chocolate over top of tart.
