1. Preheat oven to 325F. In a medium bowl, beat together butter and
brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium until creamy. Beat in
eggs, vanilla, and orange zest until well blended; mixture may look
slightly curdled. Stir in bittersweet and white chocolate chunks and
pecans. Crumble pie-crust mix on top, stirring with a fork until well
blended.
2. Turn into a greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake 35 mins, or until set.
Let pie cool before serving, topped with whipped cream.
