I adore the mixture of chocolate and bourbon, I quite believe they are meant for each other. And I am really in love with the idea of Derby Pie, but with it's focus on walnuts and my husband's strong allergy to those, it's not something I can make in my house. I decided to take a blondie recipe and mix it with the counterparts of derby pie to make a nut free derby pie blondie.
