["This pie is a family recipe, but we aren't secretive about it. In fact, my mother sent it in and had it published in Taste of Home years ago. We are, however, secretive about our pie CRUST recipe and process, so I won't be giving you that!", "In a saucepan, combine chocolate and butter. Melt over low heat. Remove from the heat and blend in the milk; set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Blend in melted chocolate; pour into the pie shell. Combine coconut and pecans; sprinkle on top of the pie. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes.", "Hints from a third-generation maker of this pie:", "Of course, you can also do the melting the chocolate and butter step in the microwave, just be careful not to burn the chocolate.", "Make sure your pie shell is deep enough. This is a large recipe and definitely needs a nice deep 9\" crust to hold all the liquid without spilling over the sides.""
