CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

• Stir melted chocolate chips, and margarine with a fork until blended then add to above items, and blend with electric mixer on low setting until combined.
• Pour into Regular 9" Pie Shell and bake 30-45 mins until crust is a med golden brown.
• (Do Not over cook crust as it will change the flavor.) My motto is if the crust is a med brown and the center of the pie has stopped shaking, it's time to stop this pie from baking. Pie will thicken some upon cooling.
• Let Cool approximately 15 mins and cut into 8 slices before serving. Add whipped topping if desired.
• NOTE: When I Make 2 pies I use 2 small bowls, and 2 med bowls then mix as directed above because it changes the flavor of these pies if you double the ingredients in the same bowls.
• Variations: Plain Chess Pie Omit chocolate chips from recipe.
• Peanut Butter Variation add 1/4th cup peanut butter, instead of chocolate chips
• Chocolate/Peanut Butter Variation 1/8th cup peanut butter, and
• 1/8th cup semisweet chocolate chips.
