I’m thinking of starting a new blog.
The blog will be called: I love Chocolate Pie.
It’ll focus solely on variations of my Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie.
I’m pretty sure that pie is my favorite recipe on the entire blog. There’s just one problem: I love the pie so much that I keep making more and more, which caused me to completely run out of chocolate chips. So yesterday, I had to get creative. Luckily, there’s always some form of chocolate lurking in my pantry.
Searching for a chocolate-chip replacement, I found: Whole Foods’ mini dark chocolate chunks, an 88% chocolate Endangered Species chocolate bar, Ghirardelli 100% chocolate discs, and an Endangered Species chocolate-raspberry bar. So I threw all of these into my pie. Here’s a modified recipe:
Chocolate Bar Pie
(It’s gluten-free!)
- 1 (12.3-oz) package silken or firm tofu (such as Mori-Nu)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 chocolate bars, in the flavor of your choice (3-oz bars) (or 1 and 1/3c chocolate chips)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 T nondairy milk
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 2-3 T agave or other sweetener (I omitted)
Break up the chocolate bars, and melt (either on the stove or in the microwave). Then throw everything into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust if desired. (I hate pie crust and therefore usually keep it crustless.) Fridge until chilled. This gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits. (It’s firmer if you use firm tofu and more like mousse pie if you use silken.)
See the original version for the pie’s Calories and Nutrition Info.
Have fun trying out different-flavored chocolate bars!

LOTS!!! Of bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips and a large carton of cocoa powder. Oreos in the cookie jar.
That reminds me… I need to get restocked in chocolate bars department…
PS: Your photography and the beauty of the things to make continues to amaze me
(Gee I always seem to say the same thing. The next time I say something like this I’ll be using a thesaurus)
Of course there is chocolate lurking in my pantry! Actually, it’s lurking in my fridge. I like to prevent my chocolate bars from getting melty on warm days. Must protect chocolate.
Ok, you’ve persuaded me. Your fave recipe EVER?! It must me amazing then!! Of course I’m gonna trust you on this one and make it tonight!
There is always some chocolate lurking in the pantry (that I actually don’t have). But sometimes it lasts extraordinarily long. Like the bar of white chocolate that’s been hiding in the fridge for more than a month now. I love it. I am just not in a mood for it. Its younger brother – the dark Lindt bar with cranberries and almond pieces has better luck
Definitely chocolate in my pantry! Vegan chocolate chips and Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter which I can’t keep my fingers out of!
I always have something chocolately in my pantry, and mostly, I keep it dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate– anything 70 percent or darker is perfectly fine with me;)
Of course we have chocolate in our pantry: PC The Decadent chocolate chips and Enjoy Life mini chcoolate chips are in there right now, along with some unsweetened chocolate baking squares (which aren’t very good quality chocolate, sadly.) It’s really difficult to find vegan and nut-free chocolate bars in Canada.
Mmm… I’m definitely making chocolate pie for our anniversary next week! Yummy!
I think there are five different dark chocolate bars and a few bags of chocolate chips lurking in my pantry for when the chocolate monster strikes (aka every night!).
There is ALWAYS chocolate in my pantry-unsweetened, that is. Whenever I start getting low, I buy some, so there is a constant supply in my cupboard. Right now I have a few Baker’s Unsweetened Chocolate bars, extra dark Hershey’s cocoa powder, and some raw cacao nibs.
Alexa – I can’t eat sugar either so I was wondering about your Unsweetened Chocolate bars from Baker’s. Are they a really high percentage of cocoa or are they literally unsweetened?? I can pretty much cope with anything over 70% but I usually buy 85% myself. Wanted to know if this was something different though. Thanks!
Hey Anna!
The Bakers bars ARE 100% cocoa and completely unsweetened. Some other good unsweetened bars are Ghirardelli or Dagoba… Ghirardelli even makes discs, which I sometimes use in place of chocolate chips!
Yes, Like Katie said, they are 100% chocolate and unsweetened. I love them. It takes a bit to get used to. Just roll it around in your mouth and really taste the flavor-you’ll never go back to sweetened chocolate again.
Thanks to you both! And Katie, shock horror when I realized you weren’t on my blogroll. Horrible omission on my part – corrected now
. And you’re welcome about Pinterest. They just look so darn good, your pics were made for Pinterest! xx
Awww thank you!!!
This looks so good!
I’m actually a bit low on chocolate – just a few squares of 70% and some cocoa powder.
YUM!!! That looks absolutely amazing Katie! Everyday I am absolutely astounded at the delicious treats you think up! Like others, I am thinking of the different chocolate things I have in my pantry…dark cocoa powder, Endangered Species dark chocolate bar with cocoa nibs, Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips, cocoa nibs…(notice a dark chocolate theme??) Have a blessed day!
There isn’t as much chocolate as I wish there was! I have some Baker’s chocolate and that is about it! Usually I have a few bags of choc chips but I must have eaten them all, oops!
If there is, it doesn’t lurk for long!
LOL!
Currently there´s only one small lonely chocolate bar in my pantry (well, it wasn´t that small in the morning, but then snack times hit two or three times
. I need to go shopping and stock up!
You bet there are chocolate bars in my pantry! At least 5 of them.
Looks amazing! I saw a similar recipe recently from Alton Brown and I’m so intrigued by the idea that something healthy can be so delicious! Besides, anything with lots of chocolate is awesome in my book!
-Miriam
Great recipe! Chocolate is ALWAYS lurking in my pantry!
)
YES! I have white chocolate chips, although my stash is dwindling and I have a chocolate bar from a local bakery in New Orleans .. Sucree. It is milk chocolate with pistachios crumbled on top and crystalized rose. Yea … that won’t last much longer either
My chocolate stash is dwindled so badly right now! I usually have several bars in my freezer, choc chips in the cupboard and a few chocolate candies in my snack drawer, but it’s been a definitely chocolate-needy week so I’m down to just some lone cocoa powder!
I always have a big container of Cocoa and Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter in the cupboard.
I also have 5 GIANT chocolate bars in my freezer from my last trip to Norway. I guess I should get started on one of those babies soon! :0)
I am in the process of attempting to eat everything on one shelf of my fridge to make room for this pie. I. NEED. It. As if the pictures from the initial appearance of the recipe weren’t enough… you post more? Love/hate you for that.
But love how you have so many different types of chocolate in your pantry!
What do you let it set in, by the way, since you don’t use pie crusts? I don’t like them either, thus I usually avoid pies altogether. This looks too good to pass up, however. And does it set well in the freezer, or does the texture become funky because of the tofu?
Anyway… Have a great Thursday.
Haven’t been commenting as awesome because classes started again last week over here in Canada, but I’m definitely still reading and appreciating your recipes [by making + eating more of them...] and wonderful enthusiasm for delicious, healthy desserts!
It works really well in a springform pan
.
Do NOT put it in the freezer lol… it turns really weird!
ahh yum! I love pie – beats cake every time! And yes, there is always chocolate lurking the the pantry. Unsweetened baker’s chocolate, and right now some extra dark chocolate covered ginger
I bet that Chocolate raspberry bar was delicious in there! Topped with some fresh raspberries too… Mmmmm deliciousness!!
I have a dark chocolate bar + mini chocolate chips in my fridge. Need more!
I have TONS of chocolate chips right now – both dark and vegan white chocolate ones. I’ve been stockpiling. I totally need to go on a baking spree!
omg! seriously, I want to make all of your recipes!! with every post I am like “I want to make this”, bc your recipes are fab! always delicious and soooo easy to throw together. I am already thinking on which recipes to choose for my birthday party… NOT an easy task!
I always have some chocolate in my pantry, though it´s always either 70 or 80 or 85% chocolate bars from a brand that is vegan, great for baking (I am only eating chocolate in baked goods) and also cheap
This looks much softer than the original version – is this just because it hasn’t set yet?
Actually, it’s because I wanted to try it with silken tofu this time. Originally, I’d specified “firm” in the recipe, but I changed it because it DOES work with silken–it’s just more of a mousse-like pie than a fudge one.
Oh, I’m glad I like the version with firm tofu better, haha, because silken tofu is a bit harder to get. Most dessert recipes tend to use silken tofu, so now I’m even more excited about your original fudge pie crecipe!
So your first pie uses just regular firm tofu and the second you tried silken, correct?
In the first one, I used Mori Nu silken-firm. I also didn’t add any agave (I think it’s denser without the agave). In the second, yes, I used silken.
Hi,
Quick question – what is the “mousse” set in if it’s not pie crust?
Curious,
Kate
Hi Kate,
If you use firm tofu, you can put it in a springform pan. If you use silken, you’ll either want a pie crust or you’ll want to eat it like mousse.
Did you make it with pie crust for those pictures even though you “hate pie crust and therefore usually keep it crustless”?
I used silken tofu this time. If you use silken tofu, it needs a crust or needs to be eaten like mousse. (I just ate around the crust.)
What happened to the crust on your plate afterwards?
Katie! Katie! Katie!!! I don’t know you at all, and I don’t want you to think I am a weirdo, but if I was anywhere near you, I would hug you!! This looks amazing!! I can’ wait to get off work. I’m going straight to the grocery store, buy these items and make this pie. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to be able to COMPLETELY indulge my chocolate craving without any feelings of guilt or without totally wrecking my efforts to eat healthier.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you for your blog!! Please stay with it…keep on blogging!!! You are a wonder!!
ka
Can I hug you right back??? What, I’m not allowed to be a weirdo too?
Sending you lots and lots (and lots) of chocolate hugs!
I actually just used up all of the Enjoy Life chips I have in the house and the only thing I have left is cocoa powder, lol!
For a minute I thought you were being serious about the new blog! haha
It does look really amazing, I might have to make that before I leave
Oh but I WAS being serious.
What, it wouldn’t be a good idea? A blog all about chocolate pie? I’d read one of those for sure! (Hehe yeah I was kidding… but still, it sounds like a delicious blog idea.)
I have a chocolate board on Pinterest with a ton of your recipes! That way I can look at a whole bunch of chocolate at once.
I have restrained myself from making a pintrest account… I could see myself wanting to be on there all day! LOL
hey! do you think i could use plain greek yogurt instead of the silken tofu?
Sorry, no idea.
I often use Greek yogurt as a replacement for silken tofu – works wonders
Just be careful of how much you use compared to tofu as Greek yogurt can have a strong taste. 
YUM. THis is what I am making tonight now
Omigosh this looks so yummy! I really have to try using tofu in a pie- it’s such an interesting idea! I like how fluffy and this delicious this looks! And how great that you were able to make something this delicious from the assortment of chocolate bars you had around! YUM!
When I don’t have a dark chocolate bar waning in my freezer I feel incomplete. Right now it’s a lindt 90%, and I also usually have a box of bakers unsweetened, but I opted out this week to save a bit of money- those are expensive!
A quick glance at any of your Blog photo’s gets me in the mood to stir up something chocolatey. A staple of anyones kitchen, Chocolate is a neccesity of life.
)
There is ALWAYS chocolate lurking my pantry!
Your pie looks delish!
just wondering what you used as pie crust for the pictures, and also I have to say that if you ever stop blogging eating chocolate will never be the same!
LOL I don’t actually have a pie crust recipe (I never bothered to make one up, because I don’t like crust). So this was store-bought–oreo. It’s vegan, though
.
Geez, I was going to make a tofu sandwich from JL’s blog, but I read this afterwards, and I’m screwed. Hmmmmmm
SWEET!
I want to give this a whirl SOOOO bad! ….I always have chocolate somewhere within 10 feet of me. Only wish I were kidding. (or maybe not…
) Purse, pantry, desk, car. You name it, it’s there!
Hmm…let’s do a chocolate rundown here…chocolate almond milk in the fridge, Dark Chocolate Dreams and Special Dark cocoa powder on my shelves (next to Heavenly Cocoa granola), and the remainder of a dark chocolate mint bar in my drawers. I also have an 85% dark bar and a Mexican-spiced dark chocolate bar waiting for me when I finish those.
Oh man, cinnamon-chai spiced chocolate pie would be delicious!
Woah, hold the phone. I will be right over
.
Can I just say I love how this crust looks like it’s made out of Oreos, but it’s actually SO much healthier?! I also love the cream to crust ratio…more crust for me please!
Is there any chocolate lurking in your pantry? = Yes, just a wee bit
The pie looks delish! I loved french silk pie as a kid and haven’t had it in years. I need to give your version a whirl. You know, I’ve never tried tofu in sweets. Need to change that it looks like
Oh yes- there is chocolate in my pantry. And, about 25 pound of chocolate in my 2nd bedroom! Most important though, are the 3 bars of chocolate in my purse
Yum!!! I bet this would be great with a minty chocolate bar. Or PEANUT BUTTER!
Whole chocolate I tend to be lacking, but I always have a hefty supply of cocoa powder! I have at least two kinds sitting in my cabinet. Also the crust in the picture looks amazing!
I love TJ’s 85% dark chocolate- their 72% is great too. Also have their unsweetened chocolate disks for baking which melt really easily. And of course a couple containers of cocoa. I can never find the hershey’s special dark though!
There is always chocolate lurking… It doesn’t last too long… Except this block of white chocolate I found this week that had been there for a year. Probably some kind of record.
Omg this looks incredible! It reminds me of the pudding pie in an oreo crust that my mom always makes!!! What kind of crust did you use?! It looks so yummy and crumbly!
LOL there’s a reason it looks like an oreo crust… it IS an oreo crust! I hate crust, so I never bothered to develop my own recipe for one. This one was store-bought. But it is vegan, surprisingly enough!
Oh my goodness Katie, I made this recipe subbing the chocolate chips and with a chocolate crust last night! It’s almost like you read my mind! It was incredibly delicious
I’m so excited you made it!!!
We are out of chocolate chips too! It is a stinking HERESY. Fortunately we have baking chocolate, cocoa powder, and Nutella.
I love how you improvised!!
That first picture reminds me of my mom’s chocolate cream pie – my fave dessert ever!! (followed by chili’s molten lava cake – again chocolate-y 
) And that crust looks incredible! It looks just like the oreo crust my mom uses for her pie!
And to answer the question, I ALWAYS have chocolate in my pantry! Baker’s unsweetened, chiradelli 60% chips, endangered species 88% (my fave!), and even some ginger chocolate! Plus some other random bars… one can never have too much chocolate
Love you!! <3 <3
Guess I’m late getting around to reading today’s post.I’m new to your blog,and already I look forward to the e-mails everyday.I have Enjoy Life (I think that’s the brand,too lazy to go look)vegan chocolate chips,baking cocoa,and a partially used bar of Ghirardelli bittersweet baking chocolate.That’s on top of my ready-to-eat sweet stash (pb cups,choc. bars).Yes,I’m a choco fiend
BTW,do you have a single-serving recipe for a chocolate cupcake?I searched but didn’t find one.If you come up with a recipe,you’ll be my new best friend!Please & thank you!
Oh my word, how could I not have a single chocolate cupcake recipe?! I need to get on that! Thanks for telling me
.
I have some chocolate chips lurking in my pantry…from which I periodically grab a handful
Chocolate in my panty? Trick question right!?
I HAVE A flippin CHOCOLATE DRAWER! It is stocked always with…white, milk,dark, raw, peanut butter chips, toffee chips… you get the idea!
oh and…this looks like one SPECTACULAR Pie Katie!
Oh yum!!! Do you have any ways/ideas of making this without soy?
Hi Tina,
Try this one: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/03/07/you-gotta-try-this/
(or the banana version)
It is another chocolate fudge cake recipe. It’s not the same, but it’s just as good in its own right.
Of course I have chocolate in my pantry! If I didn’t…well…then I wouldn’t be me! And some odd creature is lurking in me if I don’t have a chocolate fix everyday o.e…ooh that isn’t good. Haha!
Holy Moly (is that a real term?) I made this tonight. It is FABULOUS. Rich, decadent and no one would ever suspect the tofu. Bless your chocolate covered heart for sharing this recipe. Love the blog and look forward to it everyday. Thanks!
Thank you so much for trying it! And for such sweet words! Chocolate hugs
.
I may have just bought a couple of new chocolate bars at Whole Foods after school today to ensure my chocolate stash is well stocked.
I’ve actually run out of most all of my chocolate. Big shock, I know. This afternoon will be chocolate-hunting!
I’m so glad I’m not alone on the crust hating thing. (especially the buttery ones with pumpkin pie). People look at me like I’m nuts… This recipe is getting made tonight ! I have all the ingredients lurking in my fridge, plus one piece of Godiva from my boss.
Oh boy is there! I have 100% cacao disks, 96% cacao lindt bar-my fave, carob chips, and semisweet chips
I loooovvveeee very dark chocolate. Dark like night sky, dark !
Chocolate pie is my absolute faaavorite. That picture probably doesn’t even do it justice, it sounds TOO amazing!
i nearly fell off my chair the last time you posted the fudge pie… this should come with a warning girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just made this without the pie crust – how do you keep it from falling apart trying to get it out?? I have it in the freezer now to try and firm up more, what tips do you have though for cutting it up without a crust?
Hey Megan,
I wouldn’t put it in the freezer! It might make the tofu turn really weird!!
As for the firmness issue, what kind of tofu did you use? And how much agave?
Oops – too late for the freezer and I’m at work now…I’ll see how it turns out! :-/
I used firm tofu and 1 tbsp honey since we were out of agave…
I did put gluten free ginger cookies crunched up on the bottom of the pan, but some of those got mixed in when I tried to put in the mix.
We can eat it from the pan, but I didn’t know if there was a way to make it hard enough to slice…?
Hmmm… I wonder why it didn’t firm up for you
. Did you use Mori-Nu? That’s the only one I’ve tried it with. Also, maybe it has something to do with the percentage of chocolate in the chips? I can’t figure it out! When I make it with the firm Mori Nu, it’s SO dense… I don’t know why yours didn’t firm up 
.
Updating:
The pie was fine after being frozen (phew!) and everyone liked it. Getting it out without a crust was more like scooping than pie slices – but it’s the taste that really matters!
I used Azumaya firm tofu, as it was 4/$5 (16 oz per pack) and I don’t have a lot to spend on “extra foods” – plus it was all the store had!
I also used special dark hershey’s chocolate bars (4.25 oz each x 2 bars) so maybe that was too cheap of a chocolate to use??
I think I’ll try a crust next time, but the recipe flavor was great -even the “I don’t eat tofu” person enjoyed it!
Aww yay! I am so glad it worked! I really want to try it as mousse, putting it in fancy-schmancy cups with raspberries
.
My mom is known for her chocolate pie (and Snickerdoodles) … around here that is. I just wish she’d make hers vegan, too.
I love this pie! I just made it, so delicious. I added a bit of banana, because I’m not used to the tofu-ish flavor (it was barely there anyway)
I can’t wait for it to firm up in the fridge
I swear half of my food pinboard has you on it:) and I made the other pie last week and my mom couldn’t stop eating it (she can only eat gluten free) there was barely any left for me! It was so stinking good. And oops, I ended up eating it for breakfast too….
Maybe there’s something about the name “Katie” that forces us to eat the cake for breakfast. When it is in my fridge, I just can’t stay away from it
.
I have dark chocolate from TJ lurking in my home. It usually doesn’t last very long though
Hi Katie!
Love your blog! I was wondering if the nutritional information you’ve listed includes pie crust or just the mousse?
PS: I fully support your choco-holism!
Hi Kim,
The crust is not included. I didn’t give a recipe for crust, so I couldn’t calculate any numbers in there for it. I usually eat it crustless anyway .
Reading your post made me crave for CHOCOLATE PIES(<-because they deserve the capitals). But the thing is, I haven't got any blender. Is there anyway to make one without 'em? It had been Such a long time since I've had any decent vegan chocolate pie… and sadly it's not often you could find one outside where I live.
Hmmm… I don’t know… maybe if you use silken tofu and whip everything together VERY well with a fork?
Let me know how it goes if you try this!
Awesome! Just made this over an hour ago. I was always interested in trying silken tofu in my dessert! I blended everything in my blender and couldnt help taking a spoonful to try before I let it set up! So thick and creamy! I love it! CCK have u thought of makin a pumpkin mousse to satisfy those pie cravings without the guilt? I would love to see ur spin on that!
I have a pumpkin pie mousse: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/01/03/pumpkin-pie-parfait/
And my favorite kabocha mousse recipe: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2010/03/23/pumpkins-and-cream/
Sorry, it’s a reeeeaally old post LOL!
I make a pie similar to this one. It’s called moo-less chocolate pie from Alton Brown. No dairy only silken tofu, coffee, honey, bag of chocolate chips and vanilla.
I love the idea to add coffee. Also, I wish I knew as much about the science of cooking as Alton Brown. That guy is amazing!
easy and delicious!
Sounds amazing!! You have to come up with a healthy version of pecan pie!!
Ooh agreed! I actually tried a few weeks ago… but it ws a HUGE failure! (Never try to make a pecan pie with blackstrap molasses subbed for the corn syrup lol!)
Aww! ): I saw a recipe for one that had maple syrup instead of corn syrup!
I have nothing BUT chocolate in my pantry — I work for a chocolate company in the UK! I buy it every week! I have lots of Green and Blacks.
Ah, you have my dream job! I always thought it’d be cool to work for Willy Wonka (the one in the story, in the actual chocolate factory, not Cadbury). I would eat chocolate all day. Oh wait, I do that anyway
.
Hi Chocolate Covered Katie!
It’s Jodi from down-under again… one of your biggest fans I’m sure (I made your ultimate fudge pie this weekend and… I adore my husband, but I’m thinking of leaving him and running away with said pie… Anyway, it’s Jewish New Year on Wednesday night and I’m making dessert for my gluten/dairy/sugar-eating family – I can’t wait to blow their socks off with one of your divine vegan creations and later reveal the sugar/dairy/gluten-free ingredients!! If I was to make a crust for this pie, is there one which you could please recommend?
Thanks heaps, can’t wait to tell you how it goes!
Luv Jodi
Hi Jodi!!!!
I actually don’t have any pie crust recipes
. I hate crust, and so I just have never gotten around to making one. For the photos, I just used a store-bought graham-cracker crust. But I’m sure you can find some good recipes if you google it. Sorry I can’t be more helpful! Ooh but Happy Jewish New Year!! 
Hmmm, I’ll have to get my patisserie chef’s hat on this week and give it a crack! Thanks again for your heavenly blog, since I started reading it, I have to regularly wipe my laptop screen from my drool! Oh, and “L’shana Tova” to you too
Wanting to give this a try soon, as I have some tofu chillin’ in my fridge at the moment. I don’t do much with tofu, so I’m wondering if you “drain” the tofu before throwing it into the blender?
Yes, definitely drain it first. But also be sure that you don’t use the whole package if it’s a 16oz package. My package is only 12.3oz.
If I win the giveaway, I will use the chocolate to reward my 2 year old for good behavior….and for mommy’s good behavior too!
id like to use the bars to SHOVE DIRECTLY IN AND AROUND MY MOUTH
Hmmm….other than just eating it straight up…maybe make some vegan chocolate fudge or melting some on my sweet potato (sounds strange-tastes delicious), or make some chocolate coconut butter. The possibilities are endless:). Awesome giveaway!
yum! Endangered Species is my favorite chocolate too! I wish they made chocolate chips for even easier baking solutions. If I win the Box-of-Chocolates Giveaway I would love to try this Chocolate Pie and of course, I’d likely just eat much of this delicious, enviro-conscious chocolate just as it is! Since these bars are a bit of a splurge, I haven’t tried all the flavors in the giveaway box (I usually stick to the Supreme Dark and Dark Chocolate with Espresso Beans). I would love to win this!
I’d share the chocolate at my next book club meeting! (It’s a small group, so I’d still get a good amount myself, too).
Yum. I think I’d use the Endangered Species chocolate to make that pie too…and maybe some delicious vegan hot chocolate (especially with the Raspberry bar!). And I’d probably just eat some too
I would use the chocolate bars for orange chocolate chip cookies!
these bars sound SO yummy!
to be honest, we’d probably hold off for a month (while trying to resist the urge to eat all of the chocolate) and melt a bunch for our very first chocolate fondue in our very first place together!
that’s what i want to do. what the boyfriend wants me to do is let him pick 10 recipes from your delicious website & make them all.
decisions, decisions haha.
If I were to win, well, I’d love to say I’d try some fancy cooking, but I’d just plain ol’ eat that chocolate! Endangered Species is my favorite brand, no lie, but I haven’t tried a few of those flavors yet! Raspberry and blueberry? Yumm.
yum, chocolate.
I definitely have chocolate in my cupboard. Amano right now, my current favorite.
I just found your blog from pinterest and can’t wait to try some recipes.
I’m so glad you found me!!
Is it wrong to just to want to eat it plain?! Yes, I’d bake cookies and brownies with it, but mostly, I’d just eat it straight up.
I would love to try the dark chocolate mint in the above pie
this looks great. maybe with a layer of peanut butter?!
I’d use it to make some more of that chocolate bar pie.. I chilled it in my magic bullet for a couple hours and dolloped it in a bowl with some sliced strawberries.. DELICIOUS!!!
What an awesome giveaway!!! I have never tried this brand but have always wanted to. If I won I would probably eat a couple of the bars but with the rest I would make cookies and your chocolate bar pie!!!!
Oh, I have seen that chocolate once before– and would love to win a sample set of it! I would probably just save it to eat alone–or make the chocolate pie you posted for your birthday. I have made that three times since you posted! However, not liking crust, I just eat it like a mousse! Even my roommates like it and don’t think it tastes “too healthy” haha (even though it is not bad for you at all!).
If I won, I’d probably just devour the chocolate like the cookie monster would with his cookies.
Hahaha, but of course I’d have to try it with this recipe too!
OOO OOOO OOO I want the chocolate bars! Pick me! Not going to lie, I would probably eat most of them straight up! I could definitely see myself melting some for drizzling over ice cream..or oatmeal…or bananas…or popcorn.
Yum.
I would use it in baking… OK, let’s be honest, I would just eat it.
I really need to get on this pie and make some myself! But I would probably just end up freezing it until a bad day and eating an entire bar!
MMMMmmm I LOVE endangered species chocolate!! It has been a long time since I have had any… no one in the near vicinity carries it
If I won… I would make your chocolate pie!! (with the dark chocolate and mint chocolate) My FAVORITE chocolate combination (along with chocolate and rasberry, oooh and chocolate and PB, and chocolate and coconut…) Uh – I guess I don’t have a favorite!
I would use the Endangered Species Chocolate bars IN MY BELLY!!!
Most likely eating it straight and making this pie and a thousand of ur other recipes b.c. everyday when I read ur blog I drool and want to make everything!
If I won those amazing chocolate bars I would definitely try the recipe above with _some_ of them….but mostly, I just like eating chocolate.
I love your blog, Katie; your pictures, which have always been amazing, keep getting better and better!
Aww thank you!!
I would definitely make this chocolate pie….how could I not?
i will use the chocolate to convince my husband to go vegan with me!
Oh that looks so delicious! I would definitely have to use one of the Endangered Species bars for this or I might just eat the whole bar before it could make it into this…oh well at least I’d still get my chocolate fix
I would really love to win the Endangered Species chocolate giveaway. How would I use the chocolate? I would keep it hidden in my desk at work and use it to lower my blood pressure after dealing with irritating customers. Yes, chocolate, GOOD chocolate, has healing properties.
that pie looks DELICIOUS!
the chocolate in my pantry consists of every type of chocolate chip available (mini, regular, dark, white) along with larabars, chocolate syrup and bakers chocolate, and a bar of dark chocolate with sea salt in the fridge for nightly treats after dinner…is that too much ?)
If I won the endangered species chocolate I would serve it at my next football Sunday party!
If I won the chocolate bars…hmmm, I COULD bake something with them, but in reality I’d probably just end up eating them.
I would use the Endangered Species chocolate as a mental vacation on days when work is too stressful! Because chocolate answers emails and phone calls right!?
oh, and i would use the chocolate to get some sweetness into my husbands life…he was not a fan of sweets until i introduced him to dark chocolate !!!
I like my dark chocolate straight up, savored slowly after dinner or with a glass or red wine at night =)
Yum! I will def. have to try this pie sometime soon. I’d love to use the winning chocolate to try it out
I would also probably just eat the chocolate straight off the bar! I’m not picky how I eat my chocolate, I just like to eat it often 
I think some decadent brownies would be in order if I won the chocolate!
Besides eating them on their own, I would make brownies with the Endangered Species chocolate.
I’ll use the winnings as a secret splurge, a prize for being 3 months vegan this weekend to make cupcakes and brownies for my almost-cOnverted husband.
LOVE this recipe Katie! But nothing new there! You’re a true inspiration for my vegan baking!
I love dark chocolate with cherries and orange – my two faves!
The chocolate bars you’re giving away would be either eaten straight up because chocolate is the perfect snack and I may use some to make muffins and cookies
In addition to eating the Edangered Species chocolate bars straight-up (yum!), I’d love to try your chocolate bar pie recipe!!!
Hi Katie, wow those chocolate bars look amazing!! I have never tried Endangered Species chocolate before, but I would love to win some:) I would probably use some of the chocolate in recipes calling for vegan chocolate (if they are vegan chocolate bars….), and I would share the rest with my mom, dad, and four siblings, all who love chocolate! We rarely buy chocolate because it tends to be pricey, so it would be a wonderful treat to win this giveaway:)
I would use a couple of squares into my oatmeal and I would give the rest to my best friend who just have had a baby and who is the biggest chocolate lover ever (maybe after you, Katie
. Now she really deserves all the chocolate in the world 
If I had that box of chocolates I’d eat them plain, durh!
Oh boy, winning chocolate?? What would I do with it?? Perhaps this! Or…eat it? All? Without sharing? Of course, if you came to visit I might share a little. If you get here in time.
New plan. How to rig the giveaway so Kaitlyn wins… Hmmm…
Does eating all the chocolate plain count as a use?
It just looks so good I don’t think I’d have the willpower to actually make a recipe before gobbling it up.
I would love to win the chocolate and if I win I would it plain just as it is with a nice cup of tea while enjoying a nice book
I would EAT those chocolate bars!
KATIE — I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate.
YUM YUM YUMMY!!!!
hmm that chocolate bar box looks scrumptious!! I would use the chocolate to enjoy with a nice glass of red wine, or shaved over a chocolate martini
ok i was going to say i would probably just eat the chocolate plain, but that pie looks amazing and i might just have to make it!!
I would just eat it…and happily
If I win the giveaway, I will share my chocolate with my boyfriend (a chocolate lover like me as well) and give some to my baby sister who is turning 20 in a week! And then of course, I’d eat the rest or make that chocolate pie!
Hmmmmm… If i get this chocolate, what would i do? Sorta like if i get that Dolce and Gabbana dress what would i do? I would wear it. So if i get this chocolate, what would i do? I would eat it. Plain and simlpe. And if you are nice to me, i might give you a millipiece. And if you’re nicer, you upgrade to a centipiece. I am a generous person by nature
Seriously though, i work in my church nursery every Tueday while the mothers have a Bible study and chat. I would bring in the chocolates to share with my fellow nursery workers! There are 4 babies and 10 toddlers! Oh, and there are us 4 teens ( and 1 hip adult 
) who could seriously use it!
Oh, Katie i forgot to ask something. It’s a special request i hope you will grant by November 15 (my bday). I was wondering if you could choose your fave or most popular recipe and do a video tutorial? I mean, if its fine with you. I would absolutely love it for my 15th birthday! I found your blog on my 14th birthday, which is one reason i’m asking! Please don’t feel you HAVE to do it- if you ever find time that’s all. As commercials put it ” You have no obligation”
I REALLY hope you consider this but even if you don’t i love you all the same 
LOL I actually don’t know how to do video posts! But happy early birthday! You’re almost birthday twins with my sister (Nov. 18th)!
That’s totally fine! And so cool that im almost bday twins with her! Actually, im called the Great Divide because my bday is the week between Miley Cyrus’ and Billy Graham’s bday weeks. Two people who are SO different having bdays in the same month! It’s sorta funny
I just found your site, and am really excited to make my favorite desserts more healthy, I could use any and all ways to make chocolate better for me since it’s one of my food groups.
What would I do with the chocolate if I won the giveaway?
Unwrap foil, break off a piece, and savor it in my mouth.
I love dark chocolate at its simplest!
I would love to win the Endangered Species chocolates so I can make the choc bar pie!!
I just discovered your site 2 wks ago and I’m havin a hard time deciding what to bake first! I hope I win!
Thank you!!!
hmm… I think I’d use the chocolate in some gourmet cookies I’m making for a friend’s birthday. Fancy chocolate chunks would be the perfect touch
If I win the Endangered Species giveaway, I’ll use chocolate in vegan cookie dough balls – yummm!!!
I’d probably just eat the chocolate bars plain
Nothing to detract from their chocolatey goodness!
I would use this chocolate in everyway possible!!! I loveeeeeeeeee dark chocolate
Katie – I can’t believe you are giving these away!! It has to be difficult to part with those beautiful bars of pure joy! If I won, I would eat them in my PJ’s while watching Gossip Girl and Heart of Dixie
oh my oh my oh my. If I win, I think i’ll use it by just eating it. Dark chocolate + green tea + a jane austen book = pure contentment.
Although I will definitely use some chocolate to make that crazy-good looking pie!
If I won the giveaway I think I’d run into a corner with my new chocolate stash and sniff all the chocolate still in the wrappers. Then I would carefully analyze each flavor, testing the bars for weight and heft, contemplating the chocolate deliciousness inside.
Once the first chocolate victim, err chocolate choice, had been selected I would rip open the bar and nibble a delectable bite – no doubt moaning in delight.
Assuming I ever got over it, I would try and put the rest away and then use some as decorative shavings on top of sweet eats, some to nibble on here and there, and I think some would be melted down into some icing or chocolate ganache of goodness.
This is a good plan. I really need to win now!
i would use all of the chocolate to make huge piles of fancy smores! dark chocolate raspberry and orange smores, i swoon!
well , if I win your chocolate giveaway I will absolutely make this pie. and eat the chocolate, obviously! chocolate gets me through my long days in lab!
I will use the chocolate in a special batch of blondies.
endangered species chocolate… I WANT IT! I love that it is sweetened with beet sugar and it is one of the best tasting chocolate’s ever.. I hope I win!! (carrie — gingerlemongirl @ gmail dot com)
Wow, that is a fine-looking box of chocolates! If I won the chocolates, I would share them with others so everyone could know how yummy vegan chocolate is!!
I’m just going to eat that chocolate everyday with my nightly mug of tea
How I would use the Endangered Species chocolate:
Easy answer: devour a few of the darkest bars and share the rest with my chocoholic friends!
More motivated answer: I COULD make a multi-flavor chocolate bar pie–with different layers for each type of chocolate bar. Which I’ve made with *chips* so far…it would be a difficult choice.
oops – I meant to tell you how I would USE the endangered species chocolate… I would simply eat it as is! I’m watching carbs/sugar, so I would just enjoy it plain right from the package! lol (carrie — gingerlemongirl at gmail dot com)
Recently changing my diet because of health reasons has made it VERY difficult to find things I can eat and enjoy at the same time… These chocolate bars are a God-send not only in the companies ethical business ways, but also on my tummy
First of all, I would enjoy these bars for simply what they are because I LOVE nothing more than coffee and a good bar of chocolate. I’m also passionate about wine (which has also been a difficult thing to love after getting sick), so I would sample what flavors go best with my favorite wines!
I really do love your site, it really has been a major help enjoying things I can eat and that taste just like the “real” thing
Thank you so much.
Of course I have chocolate! I always have chocolate! I like to keep it in the freezer- dark, milk, semi-sweet, and more! I love, love, love, to make frozen chocolate pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mine have lots of dairy, though, with the Cool Whip and cream cheese, so unless you have an awesome one without dairy, that tastes like chocolate cheesecake, I’ll have to stick with old faithful for now.
OMG please give me some chocolate! then I can use it to make all your wonderful delicious recipes that are on my list to try (when I get some free time!)
I will use it to make this pie!! looks sooo delicious!
I love chocolate. I use chocolate in almost every dessert I make. Especially lately. I have a secret stash of chocolate chips in my pantry and I love to just grab a handful as I walk by. MMMMMM.
If I win the giveaway I’ll probably just eat some of the chocolate, yes, I love chocolate that much. And I might experiment adding it to a recipe I have for a fat free angel chocolate cake, this chocolate may not be fat free, but I think it will add some nice rich flavor to the cake
I would use the chocolate in a special batch of blondies. Sorry if this comment is shown twice! The connection got lost
I think I would just eat it. I love dark chocolate!
(Hopefully this is the right place to post for the giveaway?)
I’d use the chocolate in some black bean brownies….but I think mostly I’d try to savor them on their own – the best way!!
Oh my goodness these chocolate bars sounds like heaven!! If I win it, I’ll eat it as a reward after my long runs…yummmmm
I’d use it to eat and bake with!
If I won the chocolate bars I would enjoy them slowly as a relaxation treat after work. And probably try chopping some and throwing it into the chocolate chip cookie dough recipe.
If I won, I’d cut up the chocolate to make chunks for cookies and brownies … and eat it plain, of course.
Yum Yum! I want to win some chocolate!! How would I use the Endangered Species chocolate? Simply unwrap and place in my mouth!
I would use shavings of it to adorn a tiramisu I am making at an upcoming supper club with friends!
I would definitely try to make a dark chocolate pie with the chocolate and eat the rest within a minute, or maybe give some to my mom an sister…
I’d stuff it in my mouth all at once like Augustus Gloop!
If I win the chocolate, I want to try experimenting more with making chocolate cream pies!! I also always have a nibble of chocolate once or twice a day to satisfy my sweet tooth! I would LOVE these!
That looks INCREDIBLE! Goodness, if I recieved ES chocolate bars, I don’t know whether I’d do that, whole-wheat chocolate chip cookies, or just savor them to get over exam stress!
Totally making gourmet smores with them! We’ve been having some sweet bonfires this Fall and I’d love to spice (sweeten?) Things up!
I’d pretend I was Augustus Gloop and I would stuff it in my mouth all at once.
Let’s be real – I’m just gonna eat these babies straight up! I might also share them to win friends… maybe…
i love to use chocolate as dessert (obviously) hahah
wow, the chocolate giveaway sounds amazing! i would probably eat all of those chocolate bars just as they are =)
Recently having to change my diet for my health has made it difficult to find things I can eat AND enjoy… Products like these bars have been a God-send.. not only in the ethical business they run, but also on my tummy
There is nothing I love more than finding good chocolate and snacking on it with a glass of wine (which I am very passionate about!), so for my entry, I’m keeping it simple and I plan on experimenting with the different flavors to find which ones go best with my favorite wines!!
Thank you so much for all your yummy recipes. They have been such a help in getting through all the changes I have to make! Side note: just made the pumpkin cream cheese bars and FELL IN LOVE!
Aww I’m so excited you made them!!
Hmmm…if I win all of those chocolate bars, I think I’m going to throw myself a little chocoholic party! I would definitely make some cookies or brownies. YUM!
Entering for the chocolate bar giveaway!
It’ll take a lot of effort not to just eat all of them haha, but I definitely want to try making this pie! The rest of my family isn’t vegan like I am, but they love when I cook for them. I’m positive this will definitely not be an exception, we adore anything chocolate over here!
You know, I very rarely CRAVE chocolate. I usually crave the really bad for you sweets like Sweettarts, etc., or I want fruit for a sweet tooth. But when I get a chocolate craving, watch out!! My favorite in the whole wide world is chocolate chip cookies, which is why I’m in love with your cookie dough dip. I’m ready to start experimenting with it using chocolate other than just chips!
P.s. ignore the double comment (or don’t and enjoy both!) I didn’t know it already posted
Those sound delicious–I’ve been wanting to try endangered species chocolate for quite some time now! I’m sure some of the chocolate would make its way into a recipe, but chocolate on its own isn’t half bad either
Mmm. Chocolate pie sounds delicious, however, using those Endangered Species Bars, I would make dark chocolate vegan mousse or your ultimate fudge brownies http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/06/10/im-obsessed-with-this-dessert/
Um….it’s a G rated blog, right??? So I can’t tell you here how I would use the chocolate, but it may involve melting it, of course at “low” temperatures to maintain the integrity of the chocolate.
And it would involve a lot of pleasure, indeed, “mulltiple pleasures” of course because it would be compounded knowing that it was helping all the animals!
LOL!!
(I think my previous comment isn’t showing up?)
I am dying to make this! Trying recipes like this, whole wheat chocolate chip cookies, and stashing it for exam week are what I would do if I won ES chocolate!
I like to melt chocolate bars into my hot cocoa!
i LOVE this chocolate. i usually buy a bar a week. never tried those little square ones though. i would probably just eat them as is, as that is my favorite way. or i would try this pie, looks amazing ;D
Hi CCK!! If I win your glorious giveaway, besides obviously eating most of the chocolate straight-up, I will break up the chocolate and use it in place of chocolate chips in your wonderful cookie dough dip, in chocolate chip cookies, in various oatmeal and oat-bran concoctions, in raw cookie dough bars, AND to make this delicious pie for my family — I made it for my dad last time I was home (he LOVES chocolate pudding pie, but is a steak and potatoes kind of guy so I neglected to tell him it was vegan until after he ate it) and he couldn’t get enough!
Those look delicious! I’m sure some of the chocolate would make its way into a recipe, but chocolate on its own isn’t half bad either
I would made a huge bowl of chocolate brownie oats if I win the chocolate bars
katherinedibello (at) gmail (Dot) com
I love this chocolate! And guess what? I happened to wander into a free sample festival and got a free bar of it. Yummm. But I would love a free box too, of course
PS: I posted vegan spicy queso on my blog that I think you will like!
If I win the chocolate bars I’d save one (for me!) and give the rest to my father in law. He’s vegan and loves chocolate. We always try to give him some type of chocolate during the holidays.

If I win the giveaway I will bring some into work to share, eat it mixed/melted in my oatmeal in the morning!, and try to make some of these delicious looking recipes on your site! I love this brand of chocolate bars!!
I would make a huge batch of chocolate brownie oats if I win the chocolate
katherinedibello (at) gmail (dot) com
If I were to win the giveaway I’d definitely use part of it to make this chocolate pie but the rest I would probably eat plain savoring each and every bite!
I would share all of (more realistically, some of) this delicious chocolate with my college cross country teammates after an exhausting workout! We need the fuel!
Not sure if my previous comment made it??? I can’t find it anywhere…but anyhow- LOVE this chocolate
Use it? Why I’d just eat it! The best way to enjoy chocolate in my opinion.
love your recipes katie!
i love dark chocolates !!!!!! especially mixed in baking.
I’m not familiar with this particular brand, however I’m hoping that the bars would be edible right out of the package. The flavor combinations sound really delicious. I’m not sure if I could resist them long enough to put them into a recipe. I’m thinking that I would rip the packages open and eat them right away.
