CHOCOLATE ALMOND SILK PIE
This pie recipe is one I clipped years ago that became a big hit with my husband and three daughters. I've been baking since I was 9 years old. Back then, my friends and I would get together on Saturdays to bake chocolate chip cookies-but we liked the dough so much we ate lots of it raw! Of all the cooking I do today, I think I still enjoy baking best. -Diane Larson, Roland, Iowa
