My Southern heart skipped a beat when I ate my first slice of Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust, homemade crust or store-bought
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup light Karo syrup
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter (or dairy-free butter), melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp bourbon
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 2 tsps cornstarch
- 6 oz pecan halves, roughly chopped
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 420F. Roll out pie dough and place in a deep pie pan (a regular pie pan will not hold all of the filling).
- In a large bowl, beat eggs well and then add brown sugar, Karo syrup, butter, vanilla, and bourbon. Add in melted chocolate and mix well. In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch and mix well. Then pour into chocolate mixture and combine.
- Put pecans and bacon crumbles in the bottom of the pie pan. Gently pour chocolate mixture over the top (the pecans will float to the top). Use a spoon to gently arrange the pecans in an even layer.
- Bake pie for 10 minutes at 420F then lower the heat to 300 and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes. Pie may appear soft in the middle but should firm up when cool.

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-
