Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place Regular 9" pie shell on a cookie sheet, or pizza pan.
- In small microwavable bowl melt chocolate chips, and margarine in microwave on low heat or manual defrost for 3mins or until melted. (Do not over heat or popping will occur).
- Combine in med size bowl eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, and flour then mix with electric mixer on low setting or fork until blended approximately 1 minute.
- Stir melted chocolate chips, and margarine with a fork until blended then add to above items, and blend with electric mixer on low setting until combined.
- Pour into Regular 9" Pie Shell and bake 30-45 mins until crust is a med golden brown.
- (Do Not over cook crust as it will change the flavor.) My motto is if the crust is a med brown and the center of the pie has stopped shaking, it's time to stop this pie from baking. Pie will thicken some upon cooling.
- Let Cool approximately 15 mins and cut into 8 slices before serving. Add whipped topping if desired.
- NOTE: When I Make 2 pies I use 2 small bowls, and 2 med bowls then mix as directed above because it changes the flavor of these pies if you double the ingredients in the same bowls.
- Variations: Plain Chess Pie Omit chocolate chips from recipe.
- Peanut Butter Variation add 1/4th cup peanut butter, instead of chocolate chips
- Chocolate/Peanut Butter Variation 1/8th cup peanut butter, and
- 1/8th cup semisweet chocolate chips.
- Note: In The Variations with peanut butter, you do Not need to melt the peanut butter in the microwave.

Tips:
