Thanksgiving is just around the corner, you all! Do you have your Thanksgiving Dinner menu finalized? After much internet scouring (here’s looking at you, Pinterest), I am wrapping up my own, and I couldn’t help but share this decadent Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie recipe with all of you because nothing says Thanksgiving in the South like bourbon and pie. Can I get an amen?
This pie looks (and better yet tastes) impressive but is simple to make. My favorite part about this recipe is using a store-bought nine-inch, unbaked pie shell. That’s right, ladies, why go to the trouble of making our own when we can pick up a perfectly fine, ready-made crust from the grocery store? This is Thanksgiving — we’re going to be cooking all day. So why not save some time and energy where we can? Am I right? Let’s get started.
