DAD'S CHOCOLATE PIE

Dad's Chocolate Pie image

Whenever you would ask my dad what he would like to have as a dessert, he would always say CHOCOLATE PIE, (you know, the kind my mother used to make). His mother was a fantastic cook and this is one of her recipes. It is simple and very quick to make.
