Black Jack Pecan Pie

1/2 c. cornstarch
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c. melted butter
3-4 Tbsp. Jack Daniels (original; don't substitute any other bourbon!)
2/3 c. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped pecans

Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Mix together cornstarch and sugar; beat in the eggs, melted butter, Jack, chocolate chips and pecans. Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until browned on top. Cool at least an hour before eating (so that the gooey chocolate doesn't run out all over the place).

Note: I once used too much Jack in this recipe (probably about 6 Tbsp.), and though I had trouble determining whether the pie was done, everyone who ate it thought it was great. It was much softer and a little more custard-like.

Note Part II: This is a favorite of everyone my family or I have ever fixed it for. It can be eaten with whipped cream (fresh if possible), but I tend to prefer it all by itself.
