Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
Remember when I told you I was on a pie making kick? Well, actually, it’s a pie crust making kick. It started with this apple pie and then moved on to this beauty – Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie.
Thanks to Amy, I took pecan pie to the only place it should go – where it says wassuuuuuup to buddies chocolate and bourbon. I know I have said many times that I’m not a chocolate lover and quite the light weight when it comes to alcohol. But I am so glad that didn’t stop me from this glorious confection. Yes folks – it’s absolutely glorious!
If making pie crust from scratch doesn’t make your heart flutter like mine, then by all means use the store-bought because the money is in the filling with this one.
There’s the pecans…
… which have a nice, little smokey undertone.
And the bourbon…
… which makes the pie feel all warm and fuzzy in your mouth the only way booze can.
The chocolate brings everything together and BOOM POW …
… Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. Go ahead … make it … you know you wanna piece!
And finally, congrats to Megan of Delicious Dishings – winner of my Sarabeth Bakery giveaway

Thank you!!
And the pecan pie looks awesome. I could pass on pecan pie, but chocolate pecan pie, especially with bourbon — I’ll take two pieces!

I’ve never eaten a chocolate bourbon pie before. This one looks absolutely to die for. And I’m still afraid of making home made crust. I’ll try to conquer that fear for the 2011 year.

It is a fabulous combination. I have to banish the thought of it from my mind, lest I’d be making one weekly around here, and my hiney can’t take no mo.

Oh my! This rocks. You should stay on the pie kick longer. This is awesome,
I took your advice and baked snickerdoodle like you recommended. They were perfect. I will have them posted tomorrow a.m, if you want to check it out.

I have some serious pecan pie love, and chocolate/bourbon could truly only elevate it to a whole new level. Now, if only I could master pie crusts…my life would be complete.

Pecan pie is hands down my husbands favorite pie – and whiskey is his favorite drink – the best of both worlds in one dessert! Thanks for the recipe – he will love it!
