Clockwise from top left; Chocolate Pecan Pie, Peanut Butter Pie, Grandma's Peach Custard Pie, Buttermilk Pie, Classic Chocolate Cream Pie.

Chocolate Pecan Pie
 1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa 
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 
2. Combine sugar with cocoa in a bowl. Add eggs, corn syrup, butter and vanilla; stir until well blended. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust. Top with chopped pecans
3. Bake for 60 minutes or until set. Transfer from oven to wire rack; cool completely. Garnish with whipped topping before serving. 
​
Peanut Butter Pie
¾ c sugar
5 Tbsp flour
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ c milk
½ tsp vanilla
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 Tbsp butter
½ c peanut butter
9” pie shell, baked as directed
Redi Whip or Cool Whip
Peanut Butter Crumbles
½ c. powdered sugar
¼ c. peanut butter
Combine sugar, flour, and salt in large saucepan. Mix with wooden spoon. Blend in milk, vanilla and egg yolks. Add butter and cook over medium heat until thick. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter. Cool mixture completely in ice water bath. Pour in to baked pie shell. Top with Redi-whip or Cool Whip and Peanut Butter Crumbles.
For Peanut Butter Crumbles, combine sugar and peanut butter in bowl and using a mixer, combine until crumbles form. Sprinkle on top of whipped topping.

Grandma's Peach Custard Pie
If you have a tried & true crust recipe, use it. I am a lazy cheat so I use Pillsbury pre-made pie crust
 
5 or 6 peaches (or 2 15oz cans/3 cups diced if you can't find nice fresh ones - rinse and drain canned ones & don't mix with sugar)
PREP: Preheat oven to 375°
Peel & slice 5-6 peaches, toss slices with 2 TBSP sugar and set aside to macerate.
 
MIX UNTIL SMOOTH:
3 whole large eggs
3 TBSP all purpose flour
1 TBSP softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
 
Stir in peaches - pour mixture into piecrust
Bake at 375 on middle rack for 30 minutes; check to make sure crust edges aren't getting burnt. If so, cover edges only with aluminum foil. Bake an additional 20-25 minutes until top is nicely browned.
Let cool - then chill in fridge for 1 hour to set the custard before serving.

Buttermilk Pie
¼ c flour
1 3/8 c sugar
½ tsp salt
½ c melted butter, cooled
3 eggs slightly beaten
½ c buttermilk
1 ½ tsp vanilla
½ c pecans (optional)
9-inch deep dish pie crust
Preheat oven to 350. Combine eggs and butter. Add flour, salt, sugar, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Stir in crushed pecans or sprinkle on to top of pie.
Pour in to deep dish pie pan and place pan on a cookie sheet to catch any overflow. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, covering pie after 15 minutes with foil to keep from getting too brown. Center of pie will be a bit giggly. 

Classic Chocolate Cream Pie
9-inch baked pastry shell or crumb crust, cooled
5 sections Hershey’s unsweetened chocolate baking bar (1/2 oz each), broken in pieces
3 c milk, divided
1 1/3 c sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp salt
3 eggs yolk
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Whipped topping (optional)
  1. Prepare pastry shell, cool
  2. Combine chocolate and 2 cups milk in medium saucepan; cook over medium heat stirring constantly, just until mixture boils remove from heat; set aside
  3. Stir together sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in medium bowl. Blend remaining 1 cup milk in to egg yolks and stir in to sugar mixture. Gradually add to chocolate mixture. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly with wire whisk until mixture boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla.
  4. Pour in to prepared pastry shell; press plastic wrap directly on to surface. Cool; refrigerate until well chilled. Top with whipped cream if desired.
