Cooking instruction summary:

For the crust:Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla and beat until combined. Gradually add the flour, beating until just combined. The mixture will be dry and crumbly. Press the dough into the prepared baking pan, using a can on its side to help cover the pan evenly with the dough. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned at the edges. Keep the oven at 350°F.For the filling:In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate, butter, salt, and cornsyrup in the microwave in 30-second bursts until melted and smooth, stirring between each burst. Stir in the sugar and flour. Beat in the eggs until well combined. Stir in the chips. Pour the filling onto the crust and bake until shiny and set, 22 to 24 minutes (a tester will come out with moist crumbs attached). Do not overbake.

Food Joke

A man told his doctor, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?" The doctor replied, "Try this test first. When your wife is at the sink doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, keep moving closer, asking the question until she hears you." He went home and saw his wife preparing dinner. Standing fifteen feet behind her he said, "What's for dinner, honey?" Hearing no reply, he moved up to ten feet behind her and repeated the question. Still no reply, so he moved to five feet. Finally he stood directly behind her and said, "Honey, what's for dinner tonight?" She turned around and yelled in his face, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN, you deaf old goat!
