Derby Pie

I spent much of the morning making Derby Pies as gifts.  The recipe is a family favorite that is very well known in my home state of Kentucky.  It is almost always served on the first Saturday of May, Derby Day!

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 stick butter, melted
2 egggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chocolate chips
1 9-inch pie crust

1.  Mix the sugar and flour.  Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.  Then add nuts and chocolate chips. 
2.  Pour mixture into prepared pie crust.  Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or until set. 
Enjoy!
