Prepare the topping in a medium bowl, combing the pecans, brown sugar, flour, butter, and bourbon. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork, until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, egg, and the bourbon. Add this to the flour and nuts mixture, stirring just to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into 4 nonstick mini-bread pans. Evenly spread the streusel topping over the batter. Place the loaves in the oven and bake for about 1 hour or until a tester comes clean.
