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 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping

Pecan halves, if desired

Real semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted, 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.
