Old Fashioned Chocolate Pie
Pie is probably my favorite dessert. Actually it is, it is without question my favorite dessert. Well, bread pudding is right up there with it. This recipe is a traditional chocolate pie, but it incredibly easy. It is perfect for any season. Pie really should be celebrated all year long.
A classic southern chocolate pie recipe just like your grandmother used to make. Perfect for the baptist potluck, a funeral dinner, or as a gift to a new neighbor. Pairs well with sweet tea, fire flies, and heirloom quilts.
