Chocolate butter pecan pie revisited

Thanks to all the readers who discovered we neglected to list how much butter was necessary for this pie when we ran the recipe a few week's ago. So sorry! It requires 1/2 cup of butter. Here is the complete recipe, with our apologies:
Chocolate butter pecan pie
1 pie crust
1/2 cup water
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter
11/4 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3 eggs, slightly beaten
2 Tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
11/2 cups finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup pecan halves
For filling, melt butter and chocolate in a microwave; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, molasses, vanilla, and salt. Stir in chopped pecans and butter mixture.
Pour into pastry. Bake at 350-degrees for 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent over-browning. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
