HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE PIE


Chocolate lover's rejoice and indulge in this silky rich chocolate pie.  This is my husband's absolute favorite pie that his mother-in-law (my mom)  makes for him.  When she walks through the door with her chocolate pie I can see his mouth start to water as he rushes over and offers to take it off her hands.   It takes a little extra work than boxed pudding but well worth the effort.  Made with dark chocolate it is the ultimate in decadence!

                                                          INGREDIENTS
