The ingredients for Moosiemate's Insane Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie are:

2 cups dark corn syrup
2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
6 fresh, large brown eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup Canadian bourbon or whiskey (Pendelton's, Canadian Mist, etc.)
3 cups chopped pecan halves
1 1/2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
2 pie crusts (if you have your own pastry recipe), or just use a high-quality frozen pie crust

Here is how you make Moosiemate's Insane Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie:

PREP: You will need the equivalent of 1 1/2 ounces of unsweetened baker's chocolate. Break off however much from the bar of chocolate is required, and set it aside. Also, if you have pecan halves, chop them (I use a Cuisinart) to coarse pieces. Do your best not to chop them too fine. Once that is done, set them aside.PREHEAT your oven to 300 degrees F. These pies need a SLOW OVEN to properly cook.Thoroughly beat the eggs, then blend with the brown sugar until creamy and well-dissolved. Add the corn syrup and vanilla, beating at low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Set aside and let stand for 10 minutes.Place the chocolate into a custard cup or similar, microwave-compatible container and heat until melted. As that is happening, pour the bourbon into a small saucepan and heat on medium heat until steaming. Do not boil. Whisk constantly while heating. Once the bourbon has been steaming for about 4 to 5 minutes, this will reduce it to about 2/3 cup, and it will remove most of the alcohol. Remove from heat after the time mentioned. Take the melted chocolate from the microwave (or however you melted it) and SLOWLY add the bourbon, 1 tbsp at a time, blending it into the chocolate to maintain a creamy texture.Now, take the batter you set aside earlier, and blend once again for two minutes, slowly adding the chocolate & bourbon mix. Doing this slowly will not shock the batter - remember, the mixture is hot or at least very warm.Once the bourbon/chocolate is added, add the chopped pecans and blend for an additional minute. Then, divide the mixture between the two pie crusts and put them into a SLOW OVEN (300 degrees) for 1 hour, 15 minutes. NOTE: This works well on a variety of electric ovens. If you have a gas oven, either reduce the time slightly, or reduce the heat to around 275 degrees or so. Use your experience with your oven to ensure a good outcome.After cooking, allow the pies to cool for at least 40 minutes to an hour. They are good warm, but they will be slightly runny until fully cooled.Serving Size: Makes two, 8 or 9 inch piesNumber of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MOOSIEMATE.
