I chose this pie because I was trying to duplicate the one from Furr's. Nope- nothing like it. I wanted a butter chess pie so this looked like it might work. It's not bad just not what I was looking for. Too sticky sweet for me. But if that's what YOU are looking for go for it! Read More

Exactly what I expected easy to make and insanely yummy. I used "Butter Flaky Pie Crust" from this site under it and the combination is perfect. Read More

It was super easy to make and it had a good taste but was a little heavy on the egg taste. Might try to make it with one less egg the next time. Read More
