I got an email from a reader in Baltimore yesterday who wondered if I had a recipe for Ukrop’s chocolate pie. Even though I have a Ukrop’s 65th anniversary cookbook, I didn’t really expect to find the recipe in the book. It’s such a popular one, after all, and they’re still selling pies in the Kroger stores.

But lo and behold, I found it! This is the recipe for Ukrop’s Chocolate Chess Pie, and it’s so incredibly easy. You just throw a bunch of ingredients in a blender and then pour the mixture into frozen pie crusts and bake. I thought I’d share this in case anybody is looking for some last-minute treat ideas for the holidays.

I’ll have one more blog entry tomorrow, and then for next week I’ll be doing the traditional countdown to the new year in cookbook giveaways. So try to check in on your home computer sometime next week for a chance to win a cookbook. Readership is low during the holidays so your chances to win will be even greater!
