Cooking Tip

Bourbon Substitute
If you wont be using Jack Daniels, any bourbon whiskey will substitute nicely. Some of the alcohol burns off in the recipe.

Cooking Tip

Chocolate Pie Crust
This pie can be made using a homemade or store bought chocolate pie crust. The results are equally as delicious.
