Here in Kentucky, there is a delicious pie that we like to eat on Derby Day, which is tomorrow in case you haven’t noticed.\u00a0 However, because of copyright laws, etc., we are not allowed to call it Derby Pie.\u00a0 A bakery owns the rights to that name.\u00a0 That’s okay, though.\u00a0 Today I have a recipe for a pie that is just like (ahem) Derby Pie, but instead of being a pie, it’s a tart.\u00a0 It seems that I like to make tarts lately.\u00a0 As I explained in this post<\/a>, it makes people feel a little bit special when they have their own little dessert to munch on.\u00a0 If you like pecans and chocolate, then you will love these Derby Day tarts, and so will anyone that you serve them to.\u00a0 This is basically a pecan pie with chocolate chips and bourbon.<\/h3>\n
