6 Ingredient Chocolate Chip and Cream Cheese Hand Pies

At Thanksgiving, Bart’s sister and her family came out to spend a week with us.

They arrived on Saturday evening and then went to church with us on Sunday.

But after a long drive the day before and new surroundings, their littlest boy was falling apart by the second hour of church, so Heather took him back to our house so he could take a nap.

When we got home from church, not only had she made the most amazing little chorizo hand pies for lunch (I gotta get myself a live-in chef), she’d used the extra crust to make a batch of these ridiculously tasty cream cheese and chocolate hand pies.

After the savory hand pies were gone, she pulled these sweet chocolate hand pies out and they were gone within MINUTES (I guess that’s what happens when there are 17 people in the house).

I finally remembered to ask her for the recipe so that I could make them any time I want. Which is basically every other day.
