Chocolate Chess Pie

“Dessert is like a feel-good song and the best ones make you want to dance.”
– Chef Edward Lee

Amen Chef Lee! I love desserts! It’s my weakness…but then again who doesn’t have a weakness for something sweet! Today my mom and I have spent the whole morning in the kitchen fixing up some of our favorite desserts for Christmas! We baked Pecan Pie; my great-grandmother’s Butterfinger Cookies; and my all time favorite pie, Chocolate Chess Pie! Happy baking, and Merry Christmas!
