Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Press the pastry pie crust firmly into a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the corn syrup, sugar, and eggs with an electric mixer at medium speed until well combined.

Step 3

Gently mix in the chocolate chips, pecans, melted butter, bourbon (if using), and vanilla.

Step 4

Pour the pie filling into the prepared crust. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling has set. Cool it completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve it warm or chilled with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
