Amazing and so easy to make. I've made it twice and added 1/4 cup more of tollhouse semisweet chocolate chips both times. Besdies that, stayed true to this OUTSTANDING receipe. Used Jim Bean for the bourbon.12/19/08

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was fabulous. My 10 year old preferred it over what I thought was her favorite, pumpkin pie. I did reduce the bourbon to 2 tablespoons and added 1 tablespoon of water. I also might try mini chips the next time just to see if it gives a more balanced flavor...some bites were very chocolaty, but delicious just the same.12/04/08
