Grandma Chunkie’s Chocolate Pie Recipe

This chocolate pie recipe is our family tradition thanks to my fun Great-Grandma Chunkie!

I remember Grandma Chunkie as a fun little spit fire with pink tinted hair and always wearing a cute apron.

I guess she was heavy as a child and that’s where the name came from. All my great-aunts and uncles had nicknames. One was even called Aunt No No.

I loved going to Grandma Chunkie’s house, because she was always baking something tasty. She grew up working in her family’s restaurant in Tulsa.

She also let me play with all her jewelry (clip on earrings!) and make-up. I loved hearing stories of her travels and times when she dated a pro-wrestler… the kind like you see now on the WWF! Ha.

She would tell me crazy stories, like how you had to be careful traveling back when she was a girl because people would kidnap you.

Or the time she and her brother ran away when they were really little. They tied themselves together so they wouldn’t get lost (or kidnapped) on the train. Who knows what was the truth? Ha!

Born in 1908 as Lily Maybell, Grandma Chunkie later changed her name to Lillian.

Grandma Chunkie was also a sister of Christ! When I would go on ski trips, she would pray on a cloth and make me put it in my pocket to keep me safe:-) In college, I would get these little prayer cloths in the mail every now and then.

This photo of Grandma Chunkie is probably from the 1940’s. I think she is alive and well in my daughter! I see a lot of Grandma Chunkie in my own little spit fire.

 

The best Chocolate Pie

Grandma Chunkie made THE best pies! Usually for our Thanksgiving dinners, we would have about three pumpkin pies along with banana, lemon and chocolate.

I never liked pumpkin pie, so she always made me my own mini chocolate pie. A Thanksgiving tradition, I started with my kids. I’ve posted this recipe before, but in case you missed it, here it is again. Enjoy!!

  1. Hi Barbara, This is a family favorite recipe that was my Grandma Chunkie’s Chocolate Pie. It’s free for you to enjoy and in no way sponsored. I work hours and hours each day to give you free content to enjoy. My website run the same way any magazine would be. This message is very confusing to me I guess. If you would prefer an ad free website, I’m happy to charge you for a paid website with no ads. Please let me know if you are interested in a paid membership. Thanks!

  2. I appreciate you sharing some of these recipes with your blog readers – I will probably try making the chocolate pie. Love the turkey shaped crudite plate. However, I am not in favor of supporting your participation in any advertising in which you earn money. I do not purchase ready-to-drink tea and find it a waste of my time and money to read such advertising when I am interested in recipes or any craft or DIY you might want to share. I do not think your paid job advertising for Milo’s needs to be part of a DIY log.

  3. Sweet milk meant fresh milk (i.e. not spoiled, sour, or old). It was because there was less waste and they used everything, so for this recipe you would have wanted it fresh! I just googled it!

  4. i usually make a chocolate dream whip pie but this sounds too yummy to not try….thanks for the recipe!

  5. My pie didn’t turn out as dark as the picture. I hope I made it right. It was more of a light chocolate milk brown.

  6. Sweet milk in old recipes usually refers to regular milk. It is used to differentiate between regular milk and sour milk. Milk was usually left out to let the cream rise to the top and it was easy to let it sour in warm months.

  7. I remember this post Amy…….and STILL love it!! and I love the idea of the little pies for the kids!!
    Thanks so much for linking up and sharing Grandma Chunkie!!

  8. Ok! Så can I use regular whipped cream? Oooh I wanna visit U.S and just buy baking-stuff!! We dont have anything fun here 🙁 …. Need a nanny?? 😉

    3 Tblsp. leftover coffee

    Melt hershey bar with coffee; fold in cool whip; put into graham cracker crust pie and freeze until set.

    BEST CAKE BROWNIES:

    1/2 cup butter softened
    1 cup sugar
    4 eggs
    1 can (16 oz) hershey chocolate syrup
    1 tsp fanilla
    1 cup flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    Cream butter and sugar; add eggs one a a time beating well. beat in syrup and vanilla. add flour and salt and stir well until blended. pour into greased 15x10x1 greased pan. bake 20 minutes at 350. top of brownies will appear “wet”. cool 15-20 minutes…meanwhile….

    GLAZE for BROWNIES:
    1 cup sugar
    1/3 cup margarine
    1/3 cup milk
    2/3 cup miniature marshmallows
    2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate morsels

    In saucepan, combine sugar, butter and milk; bring to boil and boil until sugar dissolves. remove from heat and stir in chips and marshmallows until melted; pour over brownies and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

  11. What a sweet (literally!) tribute to your grandma…she sounds like she was a fun, interesting, lovely woman. What a great idea to feature her here on your site. I loved this!

  12. Good grief! There goes my diet… (waving sadly). What a neat grandma you had. Both of mine had passed away by the time I was two, but my mom’s dad remarried, and “Nanny” was an excellent cook. I still remember meals at their house, with two or three meats, 5-6 vegetables, salads (green, fruit, congealed), a relish tray, and bread (yeast rolls AND cornbread muffins, kept in a special bun warmer with real butter next to it). And desserts.. ohhhh. Red velvet cake, coconut cake, chocolate chess pie, pecan pie, Tennessee puddin’… ! I would have to lay down after I ate; my tummy was always two sizes too large for my britches afterwards. I still don’t know how she did it all, but she loved to cook and entertain. I don’t ever recall a failed dish, nor do I ever recall her complaining about all of the work. I can’t pick a favorite dish, either, because they were ALL wonderful!
    Yeah, I just saw the last vestige of my diet turn the corner and disappear. Thanks, Amy. I’m sure you’ll be seeing a LOT MORE of me after I make this pie a time or two!

  13. Hi there,
    thankyou so much for this recipe!
    We have some chocaholics in this house.

    I found this info on the taste of home website…
    “According to the Dairy Council of Wisconsin, the terms “sweet milk” and “sweet cream” were used to differentiate these items from cultured products like buttermilk and sour cream. When a recipe calls for sweet milk, it is referring to whole milk. When a recipe calls for sweet cream, it is referring to half-and-half cream or whipping cream, depending on the recipe.”
