Favorite Chocolate Pie Recipe


This is ridiculously easy to make, and everyone seems to love this. I found some recipes online over the years, and modified this to the following:

Ingredients:

1. 12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips (you can use more/less depending on taste)
2. about 20 large marshmallows
3. 1/2 cup milk
4. 1 tub of cool whip (you can get reduced fat, and use more/less depending on taste)
5. graham cracker crust

Directions:

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, marshmallows and milk. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; cool. Fold in about 2 cups of the cool whip (or more if you want the chocolate to taste lighter); pour into crust. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with additional whipped topping and chocolate shavings if desired.

Note:
A lot of online recipes usually tell you to use candy bars, so you can use plain chocolate, or snickers or something. i like the richer taste of chocolate chips, especially ghiradhelli. if you are making this for people are not as into chocolate, nestle will do :).

Also, many times people use chocolate pudding instead of the chocolate chips and marshmallows. this is really good too, but I prefer the chocolate chips and marshmallow becuase it gives it the texture of chocolate mousse pie. Again, this is a personal preference.

I found this picture online. It looks similiar to this.
