Fold edged under and crimp. WHISK together eggs and next 7 ingredients until blended, stir in pecans and melted chocolate. Pour filling into pie crust. BAKE on lower over rack at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until set. Shield pie with aluminum foil after about 20 minutes to protect crust. Cool completely on wire rack. (Then I put in the fridge because DH loves his pies COLD). NOTE: good plain, BUT, if you like a topping, make whipped cream (or use store bought). Put remaining Bourbon (or 1 tablespoon) in whipped cream while making. Cut pie, drizzle with fudge sauce, then a dollop of whipped cream, and then shavings of chocolate (or this year I am topping with a candy kiss). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
