I must say I was a little disappointed but I have come to realize that I am not that fond of German chocolate. My parents, husband, and sister really enjoyed it though so thanks.

This is and absolutely a sinfully rich, decadent,but easy pie to prepare. A wonderful alternative to the cake. Everywhere I serve this pie, the recipe is in high demand.

I personally have not made this recipe, but have eaten plenty of it! My niece made this for Easter and she had to give everyone the recipe. So glad you posted it so I can keep it with my other favorites! The BEST chocolate pie I've tasted.
