When my fiance first made this for me, I declared it to be the best pie ever! Creamy chocolate combines with crunchy nuts in a great, gooey filling. —Tanya Taylor, Cary, North Carolina

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 55 min. + cooling

Yield: 8 Servings

25 55 80

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
FILLING:
3 eggs
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups pecan halves, divided
3/4 cup 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips, divided

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water; toss with a fork until mixture forms a ball. Flatten into a disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate; trim to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate and flute edges.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrups, bourbon, butter and salt until blended. Stir in 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Pour filling into crust; sprinkle with remaining pecans and chocolate chips. Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is puffed. Cool completely on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.

I made this pie several years ago. It was absolutely delicious! I have lost the recipe and now will be able to make it as my dessert for Thanksgiving. It's a pecan pie with a little twist that is perfect. People always raved about it. Since the Pillsbury pie crusts that are rolled in a box came into existence I no longer make crusts.

Before I make this, what can I use to replace the bourbon? Since it's a significant amount of liquid, I am not sure I can just leave it out.
