My fiancé has spent a year telling me about this chocolate pie that his grandmother use to make when he was little. His mother doesn't have a clue, his grandmother cannot remember, his sister called it a chess pie, his aunt swiped the recipe book and refuses to share...this leaves me with the following description: "It was chocolate, looked like a brownie on top, but was gooey in the middle.It wasn't like a pudding or custard pie, more like a half cooked brownie. Oh and it had pecans on the top."
Last summer I started searching out chocolate chess pie recipes. After hours of Googling, numerous recipe books being searched through in the library, and a few dozen different attempts, I think I have figured out this mystery pie. My biggest struggle has been that I was searching for chess pies, and this is not a chess pie. (Chess pies are made simply from eggs, sugar, butter, flour/cornmeal, and flavoring.) So I went about creating my own recipe, and it turned out extremely yummy!
1/2 C butter, melted
