Hello everyone, and welcome back to this wonderful delight. If you’ve just moved into a new Minnesota home, upgraded your kitchen in the Twin Cities, or you're simply trying to impress the family this season, I’ve got something that will absolutely deliver.

Everyone thinks they know pumpkin pie…
but what if I told you most people have been making it wrong?

Now that I’ve got your attention, try this upgraded chocolate-crust pumpkin pie recipe and come back to tell me how right I was. This is the kind of fall dessert that gets talked about at family gatherings, open houses, potlucks, and holiday dinners across Dakota County, Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and beyond!
