FAVORITE CHOCOLATE-BOURBON PECAN TART

Favorite Chocolate-Bourbon Pecan Tart image

I grew up in Louisiana where, as in most of the South, pecan pie is a staple. This tart variation is extra good because it includes chocolate. I decided to up the decadence even more by adding bourbon and drizzling some caramel on top. -Amber Needham, San Antonio, Texas
