10. Bourbon-Chocolate Pecan Pie

INGREDIENTS:

1 refrigerated pie crust
4 eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
6 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tbsp bourbon
1 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. Fit pie crust into a lightly greased 9" pie plate according to package directions, being careful to press together any cracks.  Fold edges under and crimp.
3. Whisk together eggs and next 7 ingredients until blended.  Stir in pecans and melted chocolate.  Pour filling into pie crust. This one is fun to top with pecans like the Southern Pecan Pie recipe.
4. Bake on lowest rack for one hour or until set, shielding pie crust with aluminum after 20 minutes.  Cool completely on wire rack.


I love this recipe, but it comes out a bit strong so if you aren't big on bourbon flavor just cut back a tad.
