CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape dough into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., On a floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Trim and flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights. Bake on a lower oven rack until light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 325°., In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugars, melted chocolate, milk, flour and vanilla. Gradually whisk in butter. Pour into crust.

CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place Regular 9" pie shell on a cookie sheet, or pizza pan.
• In small microwavable bowl melt chocolate chips, and margarine in microwave on low heat or manual defrost for 3mins or until melted. (Do not over heat or popping will occur).
• Combine in med size bowl eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, and flour then mix with electric mixer on low setting or fork until blended approximately 1 minute.
• 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.
• Note: In The Variations with peanut butter, you do Not need to melt the peanut butter in the microwave.
