Chocolate Pecan Pie

I made this pie years ago, and then I lost the recipe. A friend gave me a calender a few years ago and this recipe was for the month of November, so I gave it a try. I love the taste of pecans and chocolate, so what better way to have them than in a pie.

3 eggs

1 cup pecan halves or broken pecans
