Ah, holiday baking again today..but with a different 'head chef' in the kitchen. This time we stirred up my grandmother's Christmas pie. 

Creamy, crunchy chocolate filling chilled in a crumbly graham crust is topped with fresh whipped cream yielding a tempting and tasty treat just right for ending a delicious meal.
