Amazing X 10. The best pie I or any of my guests have ever had. I used another recipe with 2 ounces of chocolate in it. What a bust that was. Followed it exactly except I used the Pioneer Woman's graham cracker crust with this and that made it a 10 out of 10. P.S. Pioneer Woman uses RAW EGGS for her recipe which I would never serve to children.

This one is awesome! Made it for Thanksgiving and am making it again for Christmas. I don't like my cakes and pies to be too dark so I use 1 oz. unsweetened and 1 oz. semi-sweet chocolate instead of all unsweetened. It is still very chocolatey. I don't expect this pie to last very long.
