Topping: Meanwhile, in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling) water,
melt chocolate with butter; remove from heat. Whisk in sugar, then egg;
whisk in corn syrup and vanilla. Stir in pecan halves. Pour over base,
spreading evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes longer or until filling is just set. Let cool
completely in pan on rack. Refrigerate until firm.
