I made this for a pie contest at work and was totally happy with the end result following the original recipe. The only thing I did differently was to make brandy sweetened whipped cream instead of the traditional vanilla. Make it, you'll love it! :)

I buy white chocolate as wafers so telling me 2 oz. is not incorrect. You can also use (2) 1 oz. bars so that would be correct, too. Get a grip, just bake!

Question to bakers of this pie: Is it "one 2-oz BAR--not barS--of white chocolate or is it "? (two or more) BARS of etc.? I do wish BHG would hire an editor!

I don't use the brandy or the cream either. It does come out a little soupy but try putting some cornstarch in it and it should fix that. The taste is out of this world though! Very sweet but the cranberries compliment that and tone it down a little. I love it. As a life long chess pie fan this was the pie I've been waiting for!
