A typical Southern Chess pie is simply delicious as well as economical. Most, if not all, of my Southern friends when they see this post will say, “Oh, I already have this recipe.” However, I am sure most, if not all, of my Northern friends will wonder, “What is Chess pie?”
Chess pie is a simple pie made with simple ingredients. My son calls it butter pie so take that for what it is worth. When Carl and I didn’t have two dimes to rub together, this is the pie I would make and take to parties or potlucks due to its simple ingredients. It is made out of ingredients you almost always will have on hand. Chess pie and my mom’s peanut butter cookies are two of my all time favorite recipes.
