Easy Chocolate Pie

This is the easiest & best tasting Chocolate Pie I've tasted. I've shared this recipe with several of my friends & family. I could not believe I was able to prepare this pie in about 5 minutes. This is a major plus for me as I work a full time job & not a lot of time for cooking. GREAT recipe.
