Chess Pie

Due to the storm last Wednesday, we lost internet for a few days and am finally able to get back to the ole blog…Thanksgiving day took us to some friends house where I had told them I would bring a pie. For several weeks, I had been craving this pie, as it is truly one of my favorite pies. When the pie was served, I was curious to see how these new California friends would react to this Southern Favorite. It was a hit. Several have now asked for the recipe so I am posting it. It truly is a gooey, buttery, sweet awesome pie that is sure to satisfy the sweetest tooth.
