Kentucky Derby Pie

 
One of the things that is towards the very top of my bucket list is to go to the Kentucky Derby. I've been dreaming since I was young of putting on a beautiful dress with a huge fun hat while sipping on a mint julep and cheering my favorite horse to the finish line! Since this isn't the year for me to fulfill that dream I just decided to make a yummy dessert in honor of the big race tomorrow instead. 
 
I spotted a recipe for this Kentucky Derby pie and thought well it's gotta be good enough for the triple crown of desserts because it is almost like a southern pecan pie but with chocolate chips! A must try in my eyes and this pie did not scratch in the dessert derby, so delicious!

Will you be watching the race? Who is your pick? I think if I was at the Derby all money would be on Class Empire! But I do love Gunnevera and Always Dreaming. I hope y'all have a great weekend with your biggest decision being a margarita or mint julep!
