Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie shell
  • 4 ounces baking chocolate
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup Bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecan halves

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Melt chocolate squares in the microwave.
  • Beat melted chocolate with brown sugar until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add eggs, one at a time.
  • Add corn syrup, bourbon, molasses, and salt.
  • Check to see that there are no lumps--this mixture is sticky!
  • Fold in pecan halves with a spatula.
  • Pour into the pie shell and bake for ten minutes at 425. Lower oven temperature to 325 and back for about 30 minutes more, or until a knife comes out clean from the center.
