Kentucky Derby Pie

Kentucky Derby Pie

1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 additional teaspoon all-purpose flour

Mix the first five ingredients in the order given.  

Combine the nuts and pecans in a medium bowl with the additional teaspoon of all-purpose flour so the nuts and chips are coated.  This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the pie.  Fold this into the first mixture.

Pour into an unbaked 9 inch pie crust.  

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until browned.

Cool completely before cutting.

Refrigerate leftovers.   When eating later, you might want to warm a slice for a few seconds in the microwave - but not too long, or it will be runny.
