Granny's German Chocolate Pie


Granny's German Chocolate Pie recipe is an old recipe passed down to me by my Mother.  My family looked forward to it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.  


Do you have a couple of family members who devour a particular pie during the holidays?  

At my Mother's house during the holidays, my husband and my sister would try to see who would get the last piece of her Coconut Meringue Pie.

Well, I don't think it is quite that bad at my house during the holidays with my son and daughter-in-law, but pretty close.

Brandy likes her pie warm from the oven, and Jeff likes his pie cold from the refrigerator. Sometimes, that gives Brandy a head start. (giggles)
