SNOW GHOST PIE: 2025 Snow Storm!

Lots of Snow in the U.S. If you're stuck inside this would be a fun pie to make! The recipe is from a Vintage Hershey's Ad for Snow Ghost Pie aka Snow Ghost Cocoa Cream Pie. 

The Ad from Hershey says "Snow Ghost Pie tastes as good today as it did when Granma baked in back in '33." I wasn't around in 33, and I doubt my grandmother would have baked this, but I've made it since. This recipe appeared in the original 1934 Hershey's Cookbook (and the facsimile). There's a story in the Advertisement that you'll want to read.  Not sure if Hershey was doing this as a take-off of the Baker's Chocolate Story Ads with Recipes..



So celebrate the big snow storm of '25 (that's 2025!) with Snow Ghost Pie!
