 Betty Fowler (Texas) says:
I tore this recipe off a pad in the grocery store at holiday time over 40 years ago. In my opinion, it has never been improved upon. This is the pie my family always requests.

Baker's German Chocolate Pie has been a part of our holidays for over 50 years. So many are gone now, but loving memories remain as we gather together during the holidays. This year there will be no gathering, but each home will have a Baker's German Chocolate Pie!

 Nancy Thompson (Maryland) says:
I agree with all the other reviews. I made this pie when I first got married in 1962 or thereafter. It is the best ever. For years because it was taken off the wrapper I have not been able to find it again. HALLELUJAH!!! Thank You.

This has been a fav of my family for many years -- the only thing I did to make it better (as far as my fam is concerned) was to add about 1/3 cup brown sugar into the mix of the topping. Just makes it a little sweeter!

 Mary replies:
oh, and also - do Not overbake -- it will lose its creaminess!

 Loretta Clarke (United States) says:
I got this recipe about 36 years ago from an old cookbook my husbands grandmother gave me! My husband loves this recipe so much I have to make it for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, and if I'm looking to make points, I make one for the dinner and one for him for later!

There is none better than Baker's German Chocolate Pie! Is it true that Baker's is discontinuing the German Chocolate Bars?

 Net (North Carolina) replies:
I hope not, but I wonder. I could not find the German Chocolate anywhere! If I find some, I will be sure to buy extra!

Been looking for years for this recipe! 50 years ago my husband made a request to make it for his birthday and not the usual cake. Lost the recipe and haven't made it in many years. So grateful to have recovered it. Now son's wife can make it for him. He loved it too.

I added pecans and coconut to the filling. It was great. My family loved it and the texture is wonderful.

Baked this recipe years ago! Even placed in church cookbook! Almost ate the whole pie myself. Delicious recipe! Thank you I have been sharing with my family for many years.

 Eloise (Indiana) says:
My grandchildren loved this pie. It's pudding like texture cooked perfectly and did firm up while cooling. The coconut/pecan topping did burn slightly during the 45 minutes at 375°F... Any suggestions for remedying that problem would be welcome. The grandchildren want it baked again.

 Judy Pittman (Tennessee) says:
I,too,made this pie over 40 years ago. It was written on the Baker's semi sweet chocolate and I'm so glad it is still available. It is the best chocolate pie, imo.

 RK Bergin (Georgia) says:
Made this because I misplaced my recipe. Found it. Try this instead: Same ingredients, EXCEPT 1/3 cup butter, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup sugar, omit cornstarch & salt, 4 eggs, 1 cup coconut. Preheat 350°F, place cookie sheet on oven rack. In med saucepan, combine sugar, butter & chocolate. Stir over low heat until smooth. Cool 5 minutes. Add evaporated milk, vanilla & eggs in saucepan. Beat until smooth. Sprinkle Coconut & nuts in pie crust, slowly pour over chocolate mix. Bake 35 to 45 minutes.

Just made it for Thanksgiving for my sister, its still as good as ever even though I had not made one in ten years or longer.

 L. Brinkley (United States) says:
I grew up with this recipe and it was lost somehow. In all the years that first my Mother and then myself made it, we never found anyone who didn't love and want the recipe. I am so glad to find again after 5 years of missing it. I have never found anything better for the holidays!
