I have had a lifelong love affair with chocolate pie--well, with chocolate anything! My mother made the most wonderful chocolate pie in the world. I'm not sure how she made it, maybe with pudding that you cooked on the stove. But this recipe sure looks pretty good to me! Recipe: hersheys.com Photos: mine
