Chocolate Fudge Pie
One bite of this pie will have you in chocolate heaven, it is so creamy and fudgy! It has a chocolate cookie crust, chocolate filling and a marshmallow topping. I used Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate for the filling. There is no additional sugar in the filling so this pie relies on the crust and topping to provide that. Everyone who tried it this week loved it.
You can use any kind of chocolate bars you have, except for milk chocolate. Try bittersweet, semisweet or sweet chocolate. Chocolate chips could even be used. I just loved the dark chocolate in this pie. It really was good!
