Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Pie

I decided, after years of wondering why in the hell no one ever made strawberry double crust pie to make one myself.  I've obviously tried the 'fresh strawberry pie' with that gross glaze and the giant swirls of whip cream that's not really whip cream...it has the consistency of shaving cream and tastes only a little better.  Anyway, I decided to go for it....

first, berries with an assload of sugar....


second, chop the hell out of that block of dark chocolate that you got while touring Theos' chocolate factory.  Sidenote: am convinced they pipe marijuana through the airvents, because even after the tour where I sampled a bunch of chocolate, I still spent $42 on more because for some odd reason I had the munchies.  Those kind of munchies.  I'm just sayin'...


add a bunch of tapioca and cornstarch because you don't want a big slobbery mess....

Pillsbury pie crust because you aren't an idiot who needs to prove her baking chops by trying to make Martha Stewart's 'perfect pie crust' because she's clearly out of her mind if she thinks it's that easy to make her dumb pie crust recipe.

bake until it looks done....

feed to 9 year old boy who has developed insane appetite and loves absolutely anything with sugar, especially if it comes topped with ice cream. 

Vow to never make invention again because this pie?  Is. Not. Good.  Understand why people stick to blueberry and cherry pie.  Don't understand what happened.  Chocolate is great, strawberries are great...chocolate covered strawberries are awesome. Why can't one put those together in between a lovely crust and have it taste good? It's a question for the ages, I guess.
