Remade that chocolate bourbon pecan pie (had enough leftover pecans and chocolate chips, so why not?), this time using a third of a cup of Woodford instead of three tablespoons.
Pie is significantly better. It has a nice bite to it that the previous version didn't have and I think that helps balance out all the sweetness in it. A third of a cup seems to be the way to go. I've had bourbon pies before that were too heavy on the bourbon, but this wasn't one of them. It had what I would say is the perfect amount. Just enough that you can taste it but not enough that it overpowers everything else.
