Choco-Scotch Pie

"This is a combo recipe of two pies that I thought would blend well. The sweetness of the butterscotch mixed with the rich chocolate makes for a wonderful taste sensation. I use a chocolate graham crust, but a regular chocolate wafer crust or a standard graham crust would be nice too. I'm not a meringue fan, but you could use your egg whites and top the pie that way."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p><span style="color: #993366;">I credit my mother and aunt for my love of cooking--Mom for her creativity and my aunt for putting the apron on me and letting me go. I enjoy baking most of all and when I get time, that's what I do for fun. There's never a shortage of takers! During the holidays I am a maniac for baking cookies and every year around late October, I start prowling for new creative, different ideas.</span></p>
