• With an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, corn syrup and salt on medium-high speed until it lightens and doubles in volume, appx 2-3 minutes.
• Mix in the melted chocolate mixture and fold in the pecans. Pour into the cocolate wafer crust and bake until the filling is just set, about 35-40 minutes.
