Grandmama’s Chocolate Chess Pie

Today I’m sharing one of my grandmother’s recipes with you. Grandmama was one of those people who always lifted the mood in a room whenever she was around. Whether it was her great sense of humor, the way she let life roll off her back, or her twinkle eyed smile, just being around her set your heart at ease.

This recipe is an old fashioned one, and as such it is pretty simple, straight forward, and absolutely delicious. Chocolate Chess pie is rich and fudgey, my daughter says it is like eating brownie batter in pie form – a glowing recommendation if ever I heard one!

I gave my email subscribers a little sneak peek of this recipe before publishing and invited them to share their photos if they made it over the weekend so make sure you check those out at the bottom of the post! I love the response to the recipe sneak peek so I’ll definitely be doing that again. You can get in on the fun by subscribing to my email recipe newsletter (it’s free) by clicking here.
