"Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, or make it without the alcohol. Either way, this is one amazing pie that's perfect for Thanksgiving, the Holidays, or any occasion you like...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I find dark is best because it adds less sweetness to an already sweet pie, but semisweet is fine too.)
•
2 Tbsp butter
•
1/4 cup bourbon (optional)
•
1 1/4 cups lightly packed brown sugar
•
4 large or extra large eggs, or 5 medium, or 6 small
•
1 1/4 cups dark corn syrup (light corn syrup is fine if that's what you have on hand)
•
1 tsp vanilla extract
•
1/4 cup melted butter
•
1/2 tsp salt
•
3 tbsp cocoa
•
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
•
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips ( in addition to the chips melted in step 1)
•
1 cup butter , very cold & cut in small cubes
•
2 ½ cups flour
•
½ tsp salt
•
1/4 to 1/3 cup ice water + 2 tbsp white vinegar added. (Use only enough liquid to make a dough form.)
