Old Fashioned Fudge Pie

I've made this pie the past two weekends and several people have asked for the recipe, so I though I would share it with all you readers out there, too!

It's a Paula Deen recipe, so of course it has butter in it, but it's oh.so.good.

Makes 2 pies:

2 sticks butter
4 squares semi-sweet chocolate
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 regular frozen pie shells

Melt butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low
Remove from heat and whisk in sugar then eggs
Pour into docked pie shells
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes (It usually takes longer in my oven to set)

I also like to add a little vanilla to the pie mixture. Some orange extract might be good also since orange pairs so well with chocolate! :)

Serve warm or cold, with a meringue, whipped cream or ice cream. Basically any way you want to! :)
