Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Pie: Dark Chocolate Pie with a Holiday Twist. Perfect for a holiday potluck or as a holiday sweet treat.

My husband loves dark chocolate and so do I. In fact, if he could find a bagful of Milky Way Midnight Dark candy bar in the fun size, he would be in heaven! When I saw the pie recipe, I knew I had to make it for us very soon and thought I would jazz it up a little bit. It is very easy and only the pie crust has to bake in the oven.  I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Here is what you will need:

      Thank you! When I opened the fridge this morning I discovered Mr. Picky eater had done away with 1/2 the pie! He must have really liked it.

    Kelli, I need to make this pie! It’s been on the list, but my list just keeps getting longer and longer, hehe. Thanks for the kind words, you know I love blogging and all my bloggy friends, especially you! Sorry to hear Mr. Picky Eater ate half of it already, now you’ll have to find something else for breakfast 😉
