This is one of my favorite pies to bring to potlucks and parties. So many people have never tried a chess pie, let alone a chocolate one and it is always a big hit! Super simple and delicious!

This recipe was so easy to make! I used a frozen pie crust (yep, sacrilege, I know, but I didn't feel like making my own crust and the preparation was SO easy! I used 60% Ghirardelli dark chocolate instead of the Hawaiian Vintage and it was really good. I used the microwave to melt both the butter and the chocolate and put a pie crust shield over the crust for the first 45 minutes. I felt like I was in the kitchen for about five minutes and then put the pie in the oven and walked away! Thanks Emeril! You put the BAM in SHA-BAM!
