One Fine Chocolate Chess Pie Recipe!



Chocolate Chess Pie
(Angus Barn Recipe)

1 unbaked pie shell (regular, not deep-dish)
1 stick butter (margarine does not work as well)
2 squares semi-sweet baker’s chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten well
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Melt butter and chocolate together (to microwave:  slice butter into a microwaveable glass container; break chocolate squares in half & put on top of butter, cover with paper towels or plastic wrap, microwave on high for 1 minute).  Or, melt butter & chocolate in a double-boiler on the stove.
Mix the other ingredients together well.
Stir the chocolate/butter mixture until it is completely melted and blended.
Add the chocolate/butter mixture to the other ingredients.  Mix well
Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.  Store in refrigerator.  It cuts better if you chill it first.

PCQ Approved!

It was a pie delivered by Kay, the first angels that came during the ice and snow. Pie was excellent. Now I see it is the recipe at the Angus Barn so that tells the story. Love you Annie, glad you got a good report this week.

Margarine? Who eats margarine? EAT butter...life's too short to eat margarine.
