Chocolate Chess Pie

This pie is good.  It is real, real good.  It is smooth and rich and bonus.....super easy to make. This is my mom's recipe and she makes it every year for the holidays.  Your dad says that this pie is just as good as his grandma's if not better.  It's the perfect pie to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas and to take to a holiday party because who doesn't like Chocolate Chess?
