The Ultimate Chocolate Cherry Cream Pie

It’s the time again! Welcome to the blog hop featuring 10 of our favorite creative bloggers. This month’s theme is RED.  Because of my obsession with this Chocolate Cherry Fruit Dip, I thought it would be fun to alter the recipe to make it work for a pie… a Chocolate Cherry Cream Pie!  So, I solicited my mom and we slaved away in the kitchen, making this recipe absolutely amazing.  Paired with an Oreo Crust and the chunks of milk and white chocolate in the filling, okay… yum. 

So, besides my RED post, there are so many other fun projects to choose from- recipes, decor, and so much more! We’d love for you to pin the collage below, and then go see all the other fabulous projects created by some of our friends.
