Granny's Chocolate Pie
Why I Love This Recipe
I've always been told this recipe was handed down from my Grandmother who is now 96, but I don't really believe that is exactly true. I doubt my grandmother used premelted chocolate and hers always looks darker than mine. Sooo, I'm thinking somebody adapted it somewhere down the line.
