A DESSERT SUGGESTION

If anyone is looking for a last minute yet unbelievably delicious dessert to serve on Thanksgiving, read on.  My mother in law was once a caterer in Philadelphia.  She is one of the greatest cooks I know.  If anyone was ever going to inspire me to learn to cook it would be her.  She gifted me a book of her all-time best recipes when I married her son.  To this day, I have tried only one recipe and it remains the one receipe I have perfected and continue to make over and over.  It is easy, quick, and truly one of the most addicting chocolate desserts ever.  Trust me you will be invited back to every dinner if you promise to make this dessert.  Introducing “Ma Joel’s fudge pie!”
