Kentucky Derby Pie

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pecan pie!

My mom never made it growing up at home, and it was much later in life that I even tried a piece. But once I did, I started making it for myself. Brent loves it,too, but I can't make it very often. We can eat the whole pie in a day...not kidding.

Then one day I stumbled upon a recipe adding chocolate chips, and life got even better! This is the recipe I usually make.

But then I decided to try the recipe for Kentucky Derby Pie. It has even more chocolate chips! It was a rich, dense, chocolaty dessert...just delicious!
