Several years ago a listener named Helen submitted a Chocolate Eggnog Pie recipe that became VERY popular. I shared the recipe on air one night during the holiday season and ever since then, I get requests for it year after year... 

Well, I forgot to share it this year, so I’m doing it now because as long as temps are low, the opportunity to get out and about is limited, and my sweet-tooth is activated, I think it’s a good time to eat pie!
