Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt together butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and dark corn syrup, stirring for about 5 minutes until well combined.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, ensuring it reaches a smooth, glossy consistency.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy, then gradually add to the cooled mixture, stirring continuously.
  5. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips, bourbon, and pecan halves until well blended.
  6. Prepare the 10" pie crust in a pie dish, crimping the edges, and pour in the filling.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 hour 15 minutes, monitoring the last few minutes to ensure proper browning.
  8. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
