Who knows this pie, and do you have a good recipe for it. My friend wants me to make it, but I have never had it. It does look very good. There are a few different variations. Wet bottom, dry and chocolate. I am inclined to do the chocolate, what do you all think?

the recipie that Kiwi gave you is pretty close to the one I know....if you want to stay original....no chocolate....it was a sweet gooey mess.....so, stay original, or go for chocolate....really a personal choice, but my thought is, you can ADD chocolate to almost anything.....tasting the original....that gives you new perspective try it once.....you can always make it with chocolate later....I'm kinda a purist

I would stick to a older version that does not have chocolate for the first attempt. ( Flour, dark brown sugar, butter, egg, molasses, hot water, baking soda baked in a pie shell)The recipe that I have is very long, from Maida Heatter's Book of great American desserts. I would try a search on the web, Shoo Fly Pie recipes. You will get a good amount to choose from.

It's essentially pecan pie without the pecans.
