Ingredients: Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches); 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips; 4 large eggs, lightly beaten; 1 cup corn syrup; 1/2 cup sugar; 6 tablespoons butter, melted; 1/4 cup packed brown sugar; 3 tablespoons bourbon; 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour; 3 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans, divided

This is my version of my great-grandmother's original pecan pie recipe. You can easily make this pie without the bourbon by using 3 tablespoons of melted butter in its place. To make it lighter, leave out the chocolate. —Sarah Varner, Santa Rita, Guam

This recipe actually calls for two regular 9-inch pie crusts, so for Thanksgiving it made two pies. I used everything, even the bourbon, and it gave the pie a nice kick. Everyone loved it. If you don't like extremely rich desserts, I would leave out the chocolate chips.
