| Easter Celebration at the hangar |
Brian: We just
returned from our trip to Florida, driving all Friday night, so we were
pretty tired on Saturday. We knew we
were going to celebrate Easter in Bloomington on Sunday, so we were trying to
think of a pie that would be moderately easy to bake. We were short on Z’s and short on time.
Angie: Ever since
Brian and I have started to blog and share our pie recipes on Facebook, lots of
family and friends have started sharing recipes with us to try. One that appeared on both of our walls in the
last week was a Hershey Brownie pie. It
looked really good, and also seemed pretty easy to make.

Brian: This pie
reminded me of Derby pie, minus the pecans, in many ways. It is really very simple to make, as most “cookie
pies” are. I did struggle a bit with
getting the ingredients, as I am not a very detail oriented person. When buying ingredients, I only grabbed one
of the 6.5 oz. Hersheys Cookies and Cream candy bars. As each pie would require 6 oz., I had to
return to the store. Unfortunately, I
grabbed the 4 oz. size instead.
Doh! I’m blaming it on the sleep deprivation. J

| Melting the butter, chocolate and combining sugar |
Angie: We decided to
add some mini chocolate bars to make up the difference, and began making the pie. Essentially you put the pan on medium heat
and slowly start combining all the ingredients.
There is no crust to prepare, so once you pour all of the ingredients
into the greased pan, you just need to set the timer and wait.

Brian: We baked both
of the pies and headed to Bloomington to celebrate Easter. We set up banquet tables, there is a full kitchen
to either create or heat up dishes, and we get the opportunity to enjoy good food
and fellowship.
Angie: Holidays in my family are a big deal, all of them. If you ask my mom what her favorite holiday is, she'll say, the next one! I love this about my mom and my family. We love to be together, cook together, eat together. Towards the end of our time together we always pull out our phones and get our next one on the calendar! Since winters in Indiana are long and cold and this Easter was going to have good weather we decided to grill out. Burgers, brats, potato salad, baked beans... It was like the first taste of spring.

Brian: After enjoying
a nice Easter meal, we broke out the pie.
I enjoyed it, but the pie was a bit too rich for my taste. When the ingredients include a chocolate bar,
chocolate chips, sugar, butter, and condensed milk… you know it is going to be
sweet. I definitely advise having a nice
cold glass of milk available to go with it.
Angie: One word. Rich. This is the richest pie I've ever tasted.
Pie of the Week Recipient:
Our pie of the week goes to our good friends and neighbors
Graeme and Tracy. We have lived across
the street from each other for years and have watched our kids play together since before some of them were born! With a family of 6, we are confident the pie will not go to waste.
