Dark Chocolate, Truffle Pie
Holy cow, this has taken me 2 weeks to get this recipe up. I want to tear my hair out, I have been trying to get ready for Girls Camp and it has taken all of my time and concentration; I am the Camp Chef for 75 people and only 5 are Gluten Free, this is 5 days 3 meals a day. Way more work then I thought it was going to be!!! I have to put it out there, I am SO NOT a camper, but I actually can't wait to go, and spend time with all these GREAT girls, my only wish is that I could have some of this pie brought up to Camp, that would be fabulous! If you read my Blog, you know I LOVE Chocolate, and oh my gosh, this pie is to DIE for!!!! As as I had my last bite, I was ready for my next piece, this is SUPER RICH AND CREAMY, if you don't love Dark Chocolate, this probably isn't for you. One thing is for sure, this is Quick and Easy, so give it a try! I hope you love it as much as I did, Natalie
