Chocolate Pie with Graham Cracker Crust
Chocolate Pie with Graham Cracker CrustI love Chocolate Pie, and I’m pretty sure I inherited it from my precious Granny. My Granny had several rough patches over the past few years, and took a bad fall this past summer.
I was able to take my kids and visit with her while she was in a rehab hospital. She was struggling to eat, but the ONE thing we could count on her eating at every meal, was a slice of Chocolate Pie with Graham Cracker Crust.
She passed not long after our visit, so I will forever cherish each moment I was able to spend with her, our daily phone calls, and many other fantastic memories. Food isn’t always sentimental, but I will always think of my beloved Granny when enjoying a slice of Chocolate Pie in her honor. I hope you’ll enjoy the recipe too 🙂
