Toast the walnuts before adding them to the filling to enhance their flavor and add a delightful crunch. Use a high-quality bourbon for the best flavor. A smooth, slightly sweet bourbon will complement the chocolate and nuttiness of the pie. If the pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
