Kentucky Chocolate and Walnut Pie



Yes, please!!  I want some now :)

It is amazing how easy prepared pie crusts make it possible to create gorgeous and delicious pies.  The recipe is easy, the ingredients readily available . . . the only problem I would have is waiting three hours for it to cool . . .

This awesome recipe and photo is courtesy of Pillsbury.com, one of my favorite recipe websites!

    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
    • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoons bourbon, if desired
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 cup broken walnuts
    • 3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
    • 1 Pillsbury® Pet-Ritz® frozen deep dish pie crust (from 12-oz package)

Some notes from Pillsbury:

Pecans are also very popular in the South. You can substitute broken pecans for the walnuts in this recipe.

If you don't care for bourbon, omit it and use 1 teaspoon vanilla instead.
