I know what you're thinking--"Whah? How can this be? Chocolate Apple Pie????"

Well folks, chocolate goes with every food on the planet, so it was just a matter of time before a chocoholic genius figured out a way to infiltrate apple pie with fudgyiness.

I am willing to bet that this is DIVINE!

What do you think?

Totally Drool-Worthy: Banana Cream Pie wih Whole Grain Chocate Crust

Banana Cream Pie with Whole Grain Chocolate Crust by thebittenword.com

This has got to be one of the most lovely banana cream pies I've ever seen!

And to top it off, the crust is whole grain (can we say it's healthy??) and at the same time chocolate--a perfect combo!

So, I think we can eat this guilt free--so beautiful, nutritious (?), fruity, and chocolatey.

I are you convinced yet?

BFF Citrus + Chocolate: Lime S'more Pie

Lime S'more Pie Slice by ulterior epicure

This is the most elegant version of a s'more I've ever seen! :-)

Isn't it adorable?

I love this concept--key lime pie meets s'mores!

Now, you might not think that citrus and chocolate go together, but they do! Chocolate is a culinary neutral--it goes with everything.

This little tart would be perfect for a dinner party or any time you want to impress guests with your playfulness and creativity--and it looks so fancy!

I am adding this to my "must bake" list.

Simply Decadent: Bittersweet Chocolate Truffle Tartlet with Raspberries

Bittersweet Chocolate Truffle Tartlet with Raspberries by jen_m_stewart

[Sigh] And did you see that the filling is chocolate truffle????

Oh, I'd love this little tart as an afternoon snack (now that would be a treat!) or it would probably be more "appropriate" to serve to guests at sweet little dinner party.

They would swoon!

This baker/photographer, Jen, says this tart is uber rich, but from looking at the recipe it looks like it wouldn't take very long to whip up. Only 2 ingredients in the truffle filling part!

I'm adding this to my "must make for party" recipe list.

Slow Like Honey: Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie originally uploaded by Bakerella

Is it not divine? Ahhh, this photo has just lifted my spirits today!

Check it out--we have a flaky crust, a pie filled with (it looks like) millions of melted chocolate chips, then a scoop of ice cream, then warm chocolate sauce ladled on top.

SWOON!!!!

This photo is from the uber talented Bakerella, and she found the recipe in the Nestle Classic Recipes Cookbook--I want to make this one too!
