Derby Pie

A decadent pecan pie with chocolate chips and bourbon. Tastes like home.

A favorite in the Songheart household. We didn't have bourbon in the house growing up but a couple tablespoons gives the gooey sugary filling a flavor boost. And it's got chocolate and pecans. Very sweet and worth every bite.
