Ingredients

Crust

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Filling

1 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, melted
3 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Eggs
1 tablespoon bourbon, if desired
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping

Pecan halves, if desired
Real semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted, if desired
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F. Place crust into 9-inch pie pan. Crimp or flute edge; set aside.

Combine corn syrup, sugar, butter, eggs, bourbon (if desired) and salt in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Stir in 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Pour into prepared pie crust. Cover pie loosely with aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking 10-15 minutes or until filling is set. (If browning too quickly, recover with aluminum foil.) Cool; refrigerate at least 4 hours or until serving time.

Dip additional pecan halves halfway into melted chocolate chips; if desired. Place onto waxed paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate until set. Serve pie with sweetened whipped cream and garnish with dipped pecan halves, if desired.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and it's definately a "keeper" recipe. Very delicious.

I grew up in Kentucky and this was called "Derby Pie"...the only pecan pie loaded with chocolate chips. Unfortunately, I never got the recipe from my Granny before she died. So imagine my surprise when I scrolled and saw this recipe!

It's SUPER easy to make and such a rich dessert that it needs nothing else. It totally compliments turkey and is the perfect ending to a holiday or evening with friends! Thanks for re-introducing my family and me to an old southern comfort!

I have made it with and without the chocolate chips. Both are awesome! If going with the chocolate chips I strongly recommend using the mini-chocolate chips.

This is a fantastic recipe for Chocolate pie.
One can enhance it if you wish in many ways.
I made 10 pies for a party and each one was a bit different.
I added 1 teaspoon of Espresso coffee (dried) to one and it was marvelous. Deep rich flavor. Raspberry liquor to others, Creme de mint to others. I could go on but you get the idea if you want to experiment.
This is just wonderful and very decadent.
Have a good time with the one.

Even the Pickiest Eaters Will Love These Chicken Enchiladas

We’re entering a new phase in our life as new parents – the dinnertime meltdown stage (or the “witching hour” as I like to call it). We rush home from daycare, singing “Wheels on the Bus” as many times as it takes to keep him entertained on the 10-minute car ride. It’s the same song and dance when we get home, while his daddy finishes up work and I’m hectically trying to empty the dishwasher, make dinner and keep our little guy from hiding the dog food between the couch cushions.
