I'm not sure who brought the mini heath bars and chocolate truffle eggs into my house. Oh, that's right, it was me. The mini truffle eggs I purchased, in a moment of weakness, from Williams-Sonoma because they reminded me of the Cadbury candy-coated milk chocolate eggs. I have a problem with those Cadbury eggs. It's a clear cut problem. I can't stop eating them. In fact, Wendy (my BFF) said she stopped purchasing them because I always ate all of hers. This may have been a slight exaggeration - but only slight.
Now, the Heath bars were purchased for a purpose. That purpose was pie. I made a pie for Easter that had a layer of crumbled Heath bars on the bottom. On top of the toffee went a whole lot of ultra chocolate craziness. The photograph above shows the chocolate and the Heath crumbles in the graham cracker crust. I am true chocolate believer. And this chocolate will surely set you free. It was an intense mixture of milk, chocolate, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla. Put it on top of crumbled up Heath bars and it is almost too much. I said ALMOST.
But, you know, it was a holiday. A holiday where many people (young and old alike) tend to overindulge on sweetness. So what did that chocolate-toffee mixture need to make it completely over the top and out of control? Let me think.... whipped cream. And of course, a few more toffee pieces for good measure. This pie was so intense that after eating it, Wendy had to stretch herself out on the sofa for a bit.
In honor of the Easter holiday, I named this pie insanity "Evil Bunny Pie". "Evil Bunny" makes me think of that scary ass bunny costume from "Donnie Darko". Cause nothing says Easter like a scary bunny...
