I'm not a big fan of chocolate pie, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so rich and decadent. I can't stop eating it!

The pie was a bit time consuming to make, but it was worth the effort. It was a big hit at my party!

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but the pie was a bit dry. Maybe I overcooked it?

I found that the pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.

I tried this recipe using my own homemade chocolate crust. It turned out even better than expected. Highly recommend.

I made this with a gluten free crust. It still turned out great!

This is very similar to a chocolate chess pie recipe I've had for almost 40 years. My family loves it!

I've made this pie many times and it's always a hit. I usually use a graham cracker crust, but I've also used a chocolate cookie crust. Both are delicious.

5 stars! The recipe was very easy to follow and I was so happy with the end result. My family loved it! My husband asked if I would make it for him again for his birthday. Thanks for the great recipe!

The Ft. Knox Pie was surprisingly easy to make. It also freezes well. We had some left over and I cut it into individual slices, wrapped each piece tightly in plastic wrap, and then placed them all inside a freezer bag.
