Kentucky Chocolate Chip Pie

Kentucky Derby-Style Bourbon Chocolate Walnut Pie Recipe
I lost my original recipe for this so I found this one online. You can make it with walnuts or pecans and you can leave out the bourbon or substitute with Brandy... You really don't want to leave it out!

Kentucky bourbon chocolate walnut pie is traditionally served at the annual Kentucky Derby Horse race. This pie recipe is similar to the Melrose Inn's famous version which has been served at the race for over 50 years.
