From what I can see, this is different than the other chocolate pies listed. It's my grandmother's recipe. The effort is well worth it!

I thought this pie was OK, but not great. After an hour of constant stirring on the boiler it still had not thickened up very well. I ended up taking it off the heat for fear of it burning. It was very runny. The taste was reasonable, a bit too sweet for my liking but the kids liked it very much. But I don't know if I'll make it again, sorry.Reply

Oh my goodness, this is some rich pie....we love it. I guess I didn't cook it quite long enough, so it wasn't as set as much as I thought it would, but not to worry, it was still good. Made exactly as directed...wouldn't change a thing, except got to get that timing thing down a little better. Will be making this again.Reply
