Chocolate Chess Pie
January 23, 2012
IT’S NATIONAL PIE DAY!
In honor of today, I am letting you know that my all time favorite pie is chocolate chess pie.
In fact, I almost despise all other pies. I’m just now starting to kind of like pecan pie. I know it’s weird.
I was a Sophomore in High School when I ate my first whole pie slice. There was a restaurant on our local town square that served sandwiches, soups, salads and of course pies. Not sure how I was coerced to try it but I was amazed at how it tasted like a brownie. Now I like my slices very plain but if you are a fan of cool whip throw some on the top.
ENJOY!
