Thanksgiving Series: Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie



This year for Thanksgiving I wanted to try a new recipe, and dessert is my favorite thing to make.  I got the recipe from here and didn't change it a whole lot.


  • 1 deep dish 9 inch pie shell
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Enough pecan halves to cover the top of the pie
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  In a saucepan combine the sugar, corn syrup, and butter and cook over medium heat until the butter melts and sugar dissolves.  In a large bowl combine the eggs, bourbon, and vanilla.  Pour the egg mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly.  Stir in the chocolate chips and the chopped pecans and stir until the chocolate chips have melted.  Pour into the pie shell.  Layer the pecan halves on top.  Bake for 50-55 minutes or until set and golden.
