Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Have an 8 or 9-inch pie plate at hand.
Place the unbaked pie shell in the plate. Sprinkle the bottom of the pie shell evenly with chocolate chips.
Whisk together the eggs, 1 cup of sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Gradually mix in the butter, then add the nuts and vanilla extract. Carefully pour mixture over the chocolate chips, in a circular motion so it does not disturb the chips. Bake for 1 hour, until the filling is set.
Serve slightly warm, with whipped cream, if desired.

This recipe could not be called the real thing; legalities and trademark violations were involved. But, as she says, it looks and tastes pretty close.
