recipe courtsey of verybestbaking.com
have i mentioned how i love nestle's shameless "use our products" baking site? well i do. it's saved me more than once. the mini cheesecakes i posted earlier here are from there as is this recipe. they have a wide variety of products from pies to cookies to cakes...whatever your sweet tooth could want really. my family loved the pie that i made from there this thanksgiving and if you like chocolate and pie...i'm sure you will too. it's just sweet enough without being overly sweet and EASY? did i mention how frickin easy it was? my 3 year old is still upset that "somebody ate all of HIS pie!!"
