If you like traditional shoofly pie, the chocolate version is even better! I sometimes serve it with vanilla ice cream, but it’s just as good on its own.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

20 45 65

Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups water
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup molasses

Directions

Line a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate with pastry. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. Sprinkle chocolate chips into shell; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour and brown sugar; cut in shortening until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Add the baking soda, water, egg and molasses to remaining crumb mixture and mix well. Pour over chips. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before cutting. Serve warm. Yield: 6-8 servings.
