It must be the magic of fall/winter and holiday season that get me in the mood to shop and bake up the strom lately. Don't get me start on the shopping part - I obviously have been on my shopping roll, more on that later. I find myself spending more time in the kitchen and being so inspired to experiment many new recipes.
My oven is extra busy than ususal around this time of the year after sitting (barely) untouched in the past 9 months. Magic is in the air. The sweet aroma of Thanksgiving and Christmas - that is.
A few weeks ago, I came across a photo of this decadent Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie.
Bourbon + Chocolate + Pecan = PURE LOVE
(Find full recipe {here} - sorry I gotta go watch the Walking Dead - it is more important!! wahaha)
My little helper
- she helped for one minute and left
My in-between indulgence: Pumpkin Praline cupcake (bought from a bakery - so freaking good)
Final result
Although I am not a liquer drinker, it just sounds delish. I just couldn't stop thinking about it!! Diet - what is diet!?!?! Screw it!! Gosh I am going to gain 10 lbs by the end of December, or what!!
This tastes nothing like a traditional pecan pie. It is a pecan pie with a twist of full Bourbon and Chocolate flavor. It is pretty good and a keeper!
omggggggggggggggosh. that pecan pie looks sooo amazing! it looks soooo yummy. i literally want to lick my laptop screen hahaha :p i know what you mean.. i've totally fallen off the diet wagon.. november and december really screws with me!!!!
nelah, it sounds and looks delish! hahahaha at your little helper! a lot of people are getting bit by the baking bug. it happens this time of the year. a great smelling kitchen is always awesome for around the holidays. fabulous recipe chickadee. pecans are plentiful right now. love them! you make the most delectable goodies!!! http://www.averysweetblog.com/
Thank you very much for leaving a comment at my blog! :D
It was a pleasure to discover your blog, I am now a new follower :) The pecan pie looks amazing! My mouth is literally watering looking at the pictures, no kidding! I love pies and I love pecans so this is making me go Ooh and Ahh xD I can't eat pies though :x I have a very strict low-fat diet due to health issues. Enjoy your pie! And since Christmas is near, I may do some more baking myself, I love baking treats for my friends!
Have a great week ahead!:) Lizzy lizzieness07.blogspot.com
The pie looks scrumptious! I've been looking into baking tarts (I guess we call it tarts instead of pies here). Halloween isn't normally a big event here but it's slowly getting more and more so, thanks to the American influence. We don't really eat a lot of pumpkin here and definitely not in pies or cakes. Will have to check out your recipe.
It is so hard to eat healthy this time of year. I was determined to eat well but then had a cinnamon roll this morning. Oh well, you only live once. This looks SO delicious!
gosh that look so good!!!! i am not much of a baker..unless i can just cheat with adding butter and eggs and everything is in a box haha that's my way of baking :)
