My Southern heart skipped a beat when I ate my first slice of my Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie.
I make several pecan pies every year for the holidays, I’ve even made chocolate pecan pie in the past. It’s honestly the only pie I eat.
About a month ago, I woke up from a dream and had this recipe in my head. I don’t know if I feel asleep with the TV and overheard it or if my dreams are really this visionary, but let me tell you…life is not compete until you have a slice of my bacon bourbon chocolate pecan pie. It’s everything I love about pecan pie, but it’s jacked up with lots of chocolate, a splash of bourbon, and tons of bacon crumbles.
I always use Karo Syrup for my pecan pies, but I’m super excited to try it on my Christmas ham this year. Doesn’t that sound amazing? A glazed ham will go perfectly with this pie. Yes, it’s always about the pie. I grew up watching my mom make pecan pies with Karo syrup, so it’s no surprise that I love it too. I don’t think I’ve ever used another brand.
I tend to be pretty brand loyal and I keep a bottle on hand all year long. Hubbyman likes to make quick flavored syrups for the kids Saturday morning pancakes.
I believe that cooking and baking from scratch is an easy way to treat yourself, family, and friends to amazing food! Fleischmann’s Yeast and Karo Syrup make it easy to “bake” someone happy this holiday season!
I want to make this for Christmas, if we make it today, will it keep well for a few days?
Absolutely. It freezes well too. w-
Just to be sure, room temperature is fine? Or does it need to be refrigerated?
A day on the counter should be fine. I usually keep it in the fridge to be safe though then set it out a couple hours before serving. w-
I left it out yesterday afternoon, until now. Setting it in the fridge until tomorrow. Hoping that will be ok.
Thank you for your quick responses.
YW! It should be totally fine. Merry Christmas. w-
Just found your recipe and am trying this for the first time. Except I am adding a twist to it. Instead of bourbon I am using peanut butter whiskey which has become the rage lately. Just bought a bottle and it tastes creamy and buttery so I think it should complement it well.
Hi Jim. That sounds delicious! I might have to give that a try…my hubby would love it! w-
Help!! I plan to make this pie for Thanksgiving TOMORROW and just noticed that the ingredients call for “t” tbls butter. How many tablespoons??? Aaaaahhhh! Panicking!!!
Thanks for letting me know Amy, not sure how that got messed up. I’ve corrected it now in the recipe. It calls for 2 tbls of butter. Enjoy! w-
Wow, Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Pecan PIe – this sounds like a very unique pie. It’s one I would definitely want to try. Thanks for the recipe.
Looks delicious! This is one of my favorite pies ! I am definitely will be making this soon.
This looks so good. I never would have thought to put bacon in pecan pie, tho my grandmother use to use bourbon in hers.
They say bacon is good in anything but bourbon I would of never thought of that in a pie, I need to try some of it because it sounds yummy!
OH MY this will be made for Christmas! I am saving this I have to try it!!!
