I have made this twice and guests always like it. A nice twist on traditional pecan pie and since most people I know get their Thanksgiving dinner pies at Costco, this tart seems almost elegant. Don't over do the chocolate. I rarely give 5 stars, so this is top notch for me!
Bourbon-Pecan Tart with Chocolate Drizzle
Make the tart a day ahead, and store it in the refrigerator. You can use a 9-inch pie plate instead: simply roll the dough to a 13-inch circle, fold the edges under, and flute.
