For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the filling.
Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling for enhanced flavor and crunch.
If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Ensure the butter is hot when added to the filling to help create a smooth and luscious texture.
