Step1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Melt the chocolate and butter over hot water in stackable pans or in a microwave oven. If you microwave the butter and chocolate, cook it in 30-second intervals, stirring the ingredients in between.
Step3
Combine the corn syrup, bourbon, carmel topping and sugar in a separate pan.
Step4
Bring the syrup and sugar to a boil over a high heat until the sugar dissolves. Continue to boil the ingredients for 2 minutes.
Step5
Add the melted chocolate and butter into the boiling mixture. Slowly pour the chocolate in as you stir the mixture in the pan.
Step6
Pour the eggs in while continuing to stir the mixture. Add the vanilla and the nuts until all of the ingredients are combined.
Step7
Pour into the unbaked pie shell. Smooth the mixture evenly throughout the shell.
Step8
Place the chocolate pecan pie in the oven and cook for 45 to 50 minutes. As it bakes, the pie should rise above the crust.
Step9
Remove the pie from the oven. Allow it to cool and spread whipped cream over the pie before serving.
