Great Pecan Pie. Made this for my family and co-workers. They loved it. The chocolate and burbon definitely make this pie the best Pecan Pie I have ever had. I will definitely be taking this to Thanksgiving.

this is my recipe that I have been making for at least 15 years for Thanksgiving & Christmas...I have changed it slightly to make it the way we really love. 3/4c sugar instead of of 1c, 2 tbsp bourbon instead of 1/4c and 1/2c choc chips instead of 6 oz. Make it in a DEEP pie dish, as this makes a lot of filling!! Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving for me without this pie.

I am asked to make this for every holiday! I put the chocolate chips in the pie shell prior to adding the mixture so that they don't melt. Prior to this, they seemed to make one big chocolate glob - adding them first took care of this problem. I also use a little less bourbon so it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

My dad is a pecan pie fanatic but I made this for him and my husband for dessert for an impromptu dinner I made. I read all the reviews and about the sweetness of it. Since bourbon is in the recipe I substituted dark corn syrup to bring out the bourbon flavor more. It was absolutely delicious. I will make it again and again.

Very yummy, extremely easy and everyone loved it. The bourbon flavor was great and not over-powering at all. I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I put them in a food processor to chop them up as much as possible and it turned out great!

I have been looking for a recipe which copies the wonderful "Derby Pie" a friend of my family makes. Her derby pie is like a pecan pie with chocolate chunks. If you follow this receipe, the chocolate chips will melt, so the sauce actually becomes a chocolatey syrup. I think next time I will let my sugar mixture cool more and add larger chunks of chocolate to keep them from melting down. It was still tasty though!

This was a great twist on pecan pie - and I will make again! Next time - I may try decreasing the bourbon by a tad, as it was overpowering. BUT this could also be because I let the pie sit for about 15 minutes before baking (poor timing with other dishes) and it could have separated out a bit.

The surface of the finished pie was not very appealing. Next time, I'd probably consider melting milk and white chocolate and drizzling it over the top!

Don't change a thing...unbelievable. We don't drink bourbon, so I bought 18 yr single barrel. I figured cooking is the only time I'll use it, so spending a bit more on the good stuff made sense. I think using the best ingredients you can afford makes all the difference. Yummy!

Delicious! Made enough for 2 pies, I followed the recipe exactly. It's very rich, but if you've got a glass of milk, it's perfect. Oh, and I used whiskey b/c there was some discrepency among family members whether or not whiskey and bourbon was the same. I'm still not sure, but this recipe is great!

This was easy and a real treat. It's sticky enough that you don't need much crust. Might be worth trying with a different kind of nut, such as hazelnuts, and cutting back a bit on the sugar to emphasize the chocolate and salt a bit more.

My husband and I both thought this pie was awful! I really might have done something wrong though. I took it to a dinner party and only 2 out of 18 people ate any of it.

This pie was SOOOOO good. I made it again because I had all the stuff, and tried to share as much as I could with friends, so that I wouldn't eat the whole thing in 2 days. My friend has asked for the recipe. It's really yummy warmed up with vanilla ice cream. Anyway, I will definitely make this again.
