For an extra nutty flavor, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before chopping. Be careful not to burn them! If you prefer a less sweet pie, you can reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to customize the flavor to your liking. For a boozier kick, you can increase the amount of bourbon to 3 tablespoons.
