Toll House Pie I

"Following the recipe as written, I had to drain off a good amount of butter when I took the pie out of the oven. On the second try, I cut the butter to 3/4 c., added a dash of salt and a splash of van..." See moreilla. Excellent! and the texture is *much* better."

When I was rummaging through my freezer looking for a bag of walnuts that was hiding in the..." See morere, I found a bag of Heath toffee chips, so I threw in about a half a cup of those too. Added a tsp of vanilla, too. My kitchen timer can be playful, and sometime during the timing process, it started counting backwards. That sly little dickens has done this before. I didn't notice it until I smelled the pie getting what I thought was a little too done. I whisked it out of the oven immediately. It was still very good, but I would have liked it a little more gooey. My husband kept asking "When can I eat this pie?", so I let him go at it while it was still hot. We both liked it very much. It was not the recipe's fault that the pie was a tad overdone. Will definitely make this again and keep an eye on my capricious timer."
