This Retro Chocolate Brownie Pie is easy and delicious! The recipe is from a Betty Crocker Gold Medal Flour advertisement. It really "Tastes like Chocolate Brownies!"
You can modernize and improve this recipe by using an excellent dark chocolate (cut down on the sugar), and make your own pie crust.

ReplyDeleteWhen you suggest cutting down the chocolate by how much?
PS If the recipe says to use a frozen crust and does not say to thaw it or pre-bake it, what should we do with a crust of our own making?
ReplyDeleteI bake the crust first. It ensures a crispy pie crust
ReplyDeleteLibby, I cut the sugar by a lot, but it depends on what chocolate I'm using. I suggest tasting..
