I truly fell in love with chess pie as a child. I also love chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch, so I decided to take my mom's delicious chess pie recipe, and have some fun experimenting with other flavors being included in it. Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself, and see if you are not as delighted as we are with the end results. Enjoy!
