Chocolate Pie

Confession: I have not made this pie. But I’ve eaten it. And I can still taste it…40 years later. This is my Aunt Wynette’s recipe…and it’s not for the faint of heart. This is the ONLY dessert that I think of when people say, “it’s too rich.” I don’t personally believe there is such a thing, but if you’re one of ‘those’ people…then you’re talking about this pie. Bye, Felicia.
