Derby Pie

My husband served an LDS mission in Kentucky.  He got to get to know some good 'ole Southern cooking.  His first Thanksgiving back, he said we had to make this pie, and he did just that (in fact, he made 2 :)  


I love the twist this gives on a traditional pecan pie, and how could it not?  Chocolate makes everything better, right!?
