| So I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a HUGE hit. The great part is that the chocolate chips naturally sink and the nuts naturally float, so it layers itself perfectly. My husband says he'd prefer it with a little less bourbon, but the rest of my guests said "yum!" |

Sorry, Frannie, any leftovers were gone by Tuesday. I saw a really similar recipe yesterday in the paper that said to use Kahlua instead of bourbon.
Incidentally, my trip to the liquor store was funny. I don't drink much alcohol, either, and my husband doesn't like it at all. I also made a sweet potato pie that used less bourbon. We went into the store, and I said, "I'm making pies. I'd like the cheapest, smallest bottle of bourbon you have."
It only cost me $3.50, and I have more than enough for next year, and probably the year after that. |

Amanda .. make some yummy 'bourbon balls' (the NO COOK kind) with that leftover Bourbon. it makes a great hostess gift or christmas present (i think they last forever cuz' of the 'alcohol' content!) I have some good 'ole Kentucky Bourbon recipes if you want one!

| You can leave out bourbon, but it takes out a dimension from the flavor. I have a sweet potato pie recipe that calls for bourbon, also, and one year I forgot to put it in, and it turned out fine. My husband doesn't like bourbon and actually prefered it without, so now I make one bourbon-free sweet potato pie and one KD pie with bourbon. |

Not trying to be argumentative, but that's what makes it a Derby pie (from a born and bred girl from the Bluegrass). I make this pie (not her recipe--mine does NOT use corn syrup and is from the turn of the century) and I can't imagine leaving out the bourbon--I don't taste it at all. But, vanilla is a supplement for bourbon, so you could up the amount of vanilla used, I guess.

| I cannot comment to how authentic the above recipe is, but I've made it several times and it is delicious. |

I'll send you my recipe one day, Amanda--this pie, along with Benedictine Spread, Pimento cheese spread, olive nut spread and cheese straws are the MUST HAVES at the co-hosted Derby party we hold each year at a dear friend's house. Also a gal born and raised in horse country :)
