  1. A lovely, rich chocolate pie. Love that it's easy to throw together; canned cherry pie filling is a Godsend! This turned out great and everybody loved it, so will definitely make it again!
     
  2. This pie has potential, but this recipe is WAAAAAAAAAY TOO SWEET!!
     
  3. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on this recipe that would use up 5 leftover items in my pantry or refrigerator! I had to cut the recipe in half due to the amount of cherry pie filling & sweetened condensed milk, but I was able to use up the last bits of open chocolate chip bags, a nearly empty jar of maraschino cherries & a six-pack of mini graham cracker crusts that I couldn't remember buying in the first place. lol The recipe went together very easily & it tasted great! I had to use a combination of mini semi-sweet & milk chocolate chips. But I always buy the milk chocolate cherries anyway. I actually think that the mini crusts worked out well for portion control. Once we'd finished "a whole (mini) pie", our brains were satisfied & didn't want more. We'll be making this again & again. Thanks for posting Susie!
     
  4. This was so rich and so delicious. I used 1 cup of Hershey Cherry Cordial kisses instead of the plain chocolate chips and it added that extra "punch" of cherry that my family is so fond of. Mine set up fine. I served it with plain Cool Whip instead of chocolate as I thought the chocolate Cool Whip would be too much for my family. They all really liked it and it was so simple to make. Thanks SQ...
     
  5. This is probably one of the simplest pies I've ever made! If you use a prepared graham cracker crust pie, it will take even less time (though I do prefer a homemade crust). Mine set up fine after about 4 hours of chilling. This filling tastes a lot like chocolate pudding. With the cherries mixed in, it tastes wonderful. Two of my favorite ingredients.
