For this sweet, gooey, luscious pie, chocolate chips are poured into a pastry-lined pie pan. Then a buttery, molasses and brown sugar filling is spooned onto that, and covered with another layer of chocolate chips and a sugar crumble mix. It bakes in less than an hour.

This pie whips up in a wink, but it tastes like you 've been in the kitchen for hours. A brown sugar crumble is stirred into the molasses and egg filling, and then it 's sprinkled on top of the pie before it 's baked. The result is a gooey, not-to-sweet, delicious pie that begs to be topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Traditional Shoofly Pie

Submitted by: Robert Manning 
It's gooey sweet and unadorned by a top crust. What better invitation to come join the party does a hungry insect need? It should be called "molasses pie," but it's whimsically named shoofly because its "open" structure lures flies that must be shooed away. Shoofly Pie is thought to be a Pennsylvania Dutch creation, and may be a direct descendant of "Centennial Cake" introduced at the first World's Fair -- the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.
