Kentucky Derby Pie

Here is a recipe that I got from my friend Berta. She made it for co-op last year when we studied Kentucky. This is the pie that they serve at Derby functions. It is sugar in a crust and is ever so good. I suggest you have a big glass of milk standing by.

3/4 C margarine, melted
1 1/2 C sugar
3/4 C flour
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 C walnuts
1 1/4 C chocolate chips

Mix in order given and pour into unbaked shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let stand to cool. Refrigerate at least 1 hour for pie to set.

This is one of the best pies I have ever had. I would suggest you let it set at least 2 hours or overnight. I was looking for a refrigerated Pillsbury crust to use because I don't do crusts very well, but found frozen Mrs. Smith crusts instead. They came in the aluminum foil pan and it was cheaper than buying crusts and pans seperately. If you are diabetic, this is NOT the pie for you, unless you substitute.

Enjoy!
