Chocolate!

Nothing like it to satisfy the untamed cravings of a sweet tooth.

Chocolate settles that score.

But this pie is not just some ordinary chocolate pie! It’s the gooey cousin; Chocolate Fudge!

This Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Pie recipe is a base that is often used in making other fudge pie recipes. Therefore, give it a try, and see how it goes. Then experiment and use it as a base for other chocolate fudge pies and desserts, like the caramel fudge pie for instance!
