This never did set for me, despite following the recipe. I'm not sure what went wrong. I'll keep looking for a good recipe for chocolate pie.

I have to say that I've now made this pie 4 or 5 times, each time with great success. Today, here in NC, we are as snowed in as we ever get, so I'm cooking. Mix up my pie filling, look back at...
