"Make incredible chocolate pies your family will love." I'm a confirmed chocoholic. I like really good chocolate and chocolate desserts and pastries made with good chocolate. Today, we would like to share some of our favorite chocolate pies.

1. Chocolate Pecan Pie. When I was a kid, I was crazy in love with pecan pies. I still like them. So of course, a chocolate pecan pie has to be heaven.
2. French Silk Pie. My daughter, Katie got me hooked on this pie. We love French silk pies with their silky smoothness. They are the most sophisticated and regal of the chocolate pies. This method tells you how to make them without raw eggs.
3. Black Bottom Pie. A black bottom pie has a dark chocolate bottom and a creamy custard-like top that is dreamy and light. In many versions, the chocolate layer is very dark but thin. In this version, the chocolate and vanilla are in about equal proportions. 
4. Double Chocolate Cream Pie. This recipe presents an absolutely scrumptious chocolate filling that is rich but not too chocolaty. The crust is buttery and flaky. The whipped cream topping has added marshmallow cream for flavor and to stabilize the whipped cream.
5. Chocolate Banana Cream Pie. Morph your banana cream pie into a chocolate banana cream pie by trading the vanilla filling for a chocolate filling. This filling is especially chocolaty.
6. Mississippi Mud Pie. This is a pie for the confirmed chocoholic. It's rich and very chocolaty. As with most Mississippi mud pies, the filling is a little gooey. Because it is rich, serve it with whipped cream or ice cream.

Great pies take great chocolate. We think we have the best, mostly fine imported chocolate—certainly better than the stores:
