Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Melt the butter either in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Add the Cocoa Powder, and mix. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, and salt. Get rid of any lumps from the brown sugar.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing between each egg.
  5. Add the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and bourbon. Mix thoroughly.

  8. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the pie crust with a fork.
  9. Pour in the pecan mixture.
  10. Bake in the oven for 55 minutes until the center of the pie jiggles just a little bit when gently shaken. If the pie jiggles a lot leave in for five minutes and check again.
  11. Remove pie from the oven and cool completely before eating.

Notes

  • You’ll want some pecan pieces and some halves to make your pie just right. About half pieces and half halves usually works!
  • It’s that heaping Tbs of flour that makes for a light upper crust (it’s barely discernable, but it’s there).
  • I prefer the dark Karo for this recipe, but you can use the light and it will taste just fine.
  • If you find that the crusts of your pie are starting to brown too quickly, cover with some aluminum foil until the pie is done.
  • The pie is done when the center wiggles just barely
