For years and years, I heard the legend of my Gramie's chocolate pie. My Aunts and Uncle on my Dad's side would go on and on about my Mom's mothers pie filling. As I shared before my Grandmothers were friends and I guess my Gramie would make this often for the Brown kids. I never had eaten it until I mentioned to her that my Aunt's told me about it. She made it for me once before she died.
After her death, I was given a packet of her recipes and the chocolate pie recipe was in there along with her famous rigatoni recipe. I posted the rigatoni recipe but held on to her famous secret chocolate pie recipe as a way to keep one last secret for her. I was told my sister posted this online recently and so I decided that if she could, I could.
Muriel's aka Gramie's famous chocolate pie filling
1 cup hot milk
1sq. or 2 oz Baker's chocolate grated (put in milk to melt)

I don't have a picture to share at the moment. I have failed to make this time and time again. My mom is visiting and said we may try to make one tonight. If I succeed, I will post a picture.
If you make this be sure to tweet me a pic or post one on my FB page. As always leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
