This pie was just okay. I've had better chess pies before.

I'm not a fan of the browned butter flavor. I think I'll try making this pie with regular butter next time.

The crust on my pie was a little tough. I think I might have rolled it out too thin.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out too dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The browned butter added a rich, nutty flavor that perfectly complemented the sweet filling. I will definitely be making this again.
