1 pie crust (refrigerated or home made)

1 c. chocolate chips (dark is best)
3 eggs
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400˚. Prepare pie crust as directed for a one crust pie using a 10 inch tart pan with removable bottom. Do not pre-bake. Layer cranberries, pecans and chips in crust lined pan. In a large bowl, beat eggs and add brown sugar, corn syrup, flour and grated peel. Blend well. Pour over ingredients in pie shell.
