Holy cow, how is it possibly July? I truly can't believe we're halfway through the year. While we're busy planning our 4th of July festivities this weekend, just think ... in six months we'll be busy planning our Christmas festivities! {That's right ... I just said it. Christmas.}
And oh my goodness, if time keeps on flying like it seems to have been, Christmas will be here before we know it.
File this one away for Thanksgiving and Christmas, for sure.
Well, in keeping our eye on the here-and-now, if you're still looking for a delicious dessert for your 4th of July get-together ... look no further than this Chocolate Crack Pie! It may not be red, white, and blue ... but, believe me, it's so decadently delicious no one will care.

And that, my friends, is pure chocolate deliciousness! Believe me.
I got this recipe from one of my teacher friends. It's one of her favorites, and I had the privilege of indulging in it when she brought it into work one day as a treat for us. It's quickly become one of my favorites, too.
Every time I make it, I'm truly tempted to make two. Because it's just that good. My husband chooses to indulge in a slice {or two} for breakfast quite frequently, too, which makes it go even more quickly around here.

Some people take offense to its name. I like to think of the name coming from the brownie-like cracks that form on its top when it bakes.
But rest assured no matter how you think about its name, after digging into just one bite ...
... I think you'll agree this Chocolate Crack Pie is appropriately named. No matter where that name comes from.
Serve it up plain in all its rich fudgy-chocolate glory ...
Either way, it's simply perfect gooey chocolate deliciousness for your 4th of July get-together. Or a random Tuesday. Or even Thanksgiving or Christmas! {Oh yes, file this one away for Thanksgiving and Christmas, for sure.}
Have a fun, festive, & safe 4th of July!
