If you love chocolate desserts, these pie recipes will have you drooling all the way to the grocery store. Whether you opt for store-bought piecrust or a homemade version is completely up to you; but let’s be honest, it’s all about the filling at the end of the day. If you’re a purist, check out our quintessential fudge pie that is as easy as it is utterly delicious. For a little salty crunch, a chocolate pecan pie infused with salted caramel will do the trick. When summer has arrived and the thermostat reaches new heights, you’ll find our chocolate-drizzled no-bake peanut butter pie is just the refreshing ticket you’re looking for. 

Serve one of these 17 crowd-pleasing chocolate pie recipes with a cold glass of milk and you’ll have a dessert that your friends and family rave about and request for years to come.
