KENTUCKY DERBY CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE

LAST MINUTE RECIPE for Kentucky Derby Chocolate Pecan Pie has toasted pecans or walnuts, bourbon, classic pecan pie filling with brown sugar and butter, and gourmet chocolate chips in a flaky pie crust. The Kentucky Derby Chocolate Pecan Pie can be whipped up in no time, making this is great last minute race recipe. The pie freezes well, so consider making two and freeze one for later! This recipe is very similar to my Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe without the bourbon.
