Really good recipe. Minor modifications based on supplies - sub'd dark brown sugar for light, and used bittersweet chocolate. That offset the sweetness nicely. Don't skip the bourbon, it adds so much smoky depth. I also chopped 1 cup of pecans and stirred those into the egg mixture, then poured that over the layer of pecan halves and chocolate. 50 minutes was perfect. This was absolutely gobbled up!
We all loved this pie. I used dark syrup because that’s what I had. Generous T’s of bourbon. I will say I found it a little dense, almost like a candy bar especially days 2 and 3. I’m not sure how to fix that. But no complaints from my husband on the density! Only that I was cutting the slices too thin!
Agree with adding bittersweet though I might add a little less. Was generous with the bourbon. this was a huge thanksgiving hit.
