Chocolate pie recipe needed!?!
Answers: Does anyone have a good tried and true recipe for a basic chocolate pie? I had one a while ago, but I've misplaced the recipe. I'm not looking for chocolate silk, chocolate peanutbutter, etc.--just a basic chocolate pie with homemade pudding as the filling. Thanks!
