Today is Pumpkin Pie Day. I've posted several recipes for Chocolate Pumpkin Pie, but this is one of the best and easiest! This is from my friend Annmarie Kostyk, the Chocolate Goddess.

I love making this Easy Chocolate Pumpkin Pie. You can always add a chocolate crust if you want more chocolate.

Be sure and save this recipe for Thanksgiving!
