Yield Makes about 5 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsulfured molasses
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup bourbon
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, allspice, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Melt molasses and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Stir in bourbon. Transfer to a medium bowl; whisk in sugar until smooth. Stir in flour mixture and 1 cup pecans. Refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

These were really easy to make and they turned out great! I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and they were still delicious.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with a little less sugar next time.

These are the best pecan chews I've ever had! The bourbon flavor is subtle but it really comes through. The pecans are perfectly roasted and the caramel is gooey and delicious. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
