Crack Pie

I made this pie for my Dad this past week. I thought it tasted like chess pie, but maybe that's just because I haven't had chess pie in a while.

My parents and my brother all thought it was delicious, though, and apparently "nothing like chess pie."

It was a little work, but everyone loved it so much, the work was worth it!
