Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup dark corn syrup
  • 3 TBS all-purpose flour
  • 2 TBS bourbon
  • 2 TBS molasses
  • 1 TBS butter melted
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 – 2 cups pecan halves (I like it with more nuts / densely packed)
  • Cooking spray
  • ½ 15-oz refrigerated pie dough

Drizzle

  • ½ oz chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet) chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Combine first 10 ingredients, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in pecans.
  • Roll dough into a 13-inch circle; fit into a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray. Trim excess crust using a sharp knife. Spoon sugar mixture into prepared crust. Bake at 350° F for 45-55 mins or until center is set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over tart.
