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!
