  Categories: Pies, Chocolate
       Yield: 1 servings
  
            Pastry:
   1 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
     1/2 ts Salt
       1    Unsalted butter; chilled
            And cut into pieces
            About 1/4 cup ice water
            Filling:
       4 oz Semisweet chocolate; chopped
       3 lg Eggs
       1 c  Light corn syrup
     1/3 c  Granulated sugar
       2 tb Melted unsalted butter
       1 ts Vanilla extract
   1 1/2 c  Unsalted peanuts
            = 6 ozs
  
      Pastry: in a medium bowl, stir together flour and salt.
   Using pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles
   coarse meal. Tossing with a fork, gradually sprinkle in ice
   water, mix just until dough is moist enough to hold
   together when pinched between the thumb and forefinger.
   Gather dough into thick disk. Wrap in wax paper and chill
   for 1 hour or overnight.
       On lightly floured work surface, roll out pastry into
   11-12 inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Ease dough into 9
   inch pie plate. Roll excess dough over to form a rope.
   Crimp dough decoratively. Place pie plate on baking sheet.
   Filling: preheat oven to 350. Position rack in center of
   oven. In top of double boiler over hot water, melt
   chocolate and cool until tepid, about 10 minutes.
       In a medium bowl, whisk eggs well. Add cooled
   chocolate, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla and
   whisk well. Stir in peanuts and pour mixture into prepared
   pie shell. Bake until a knife inserted halfway between
   center and edge of pie comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool
   pie completely on wire cake rack.
