6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 cup Kahlua
1 tbsp instant coffee granules
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 350. In a double-boiler, melt chocolate with Kahlua and instant coffee, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar until dissolved.
