Pumpkin, Spice & Everything Nice: Maple Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

Take the old fashioned approach with a big bowl and wooden spoon
or go high-tech and use a mixer. Get the kids involved. It’s so much fun!

Recipe makes 2 pies. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place the store bought pie shells (still in the pan) onto a cookie sheet (makes it easier to transport them into the oven). Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on the bottom of the pie crusts.

Mix the rest of the ingredient together in a large bowl (using a spoon or mixer). Don’t worry if your batter looks lumpy.

Divide batter between the 2 pie shells and pop them into the warm oven.

Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until you can smell the cinnamon.

Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for about half an hour. Then chill the in the fridge until ready to serve. They are best if chilled overnight.
