This is one of the most wonderful ways to say good-bye to the old year & ring in the new, especially for chocoholics like us! ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL PIE that was grudgingly shared with my son & DIL, but since I have the recipe, I can celebrate the New Year ALL YEAR LONG with it! Thanks for such a wonderful chocolate treat!
