I haven't read the book THE HELP and I haven't seen the movie yet but I will this coming week.
"The Help's ending hinges on a secret involving maid Minny's famous chocolate pie. Newspaper columnist Lee Ann Flemming, one of the best bakers in Greenwood, Mississippi made 53 chocolate pies during the movie's filming, including 12 vegan and gluten-free versions she prepared in just one day for actress Bryce Dallas Howard. Her fudgy version here is neither vegan nor gluten-free: It's as classic as it gets. You can make your own crust, but Flemming uses a packaged mix."
I can't wait to see all the Southern food I grew up on in this film. It is supposed to be a real feast for the eyes. What's unusual is that almost all the food in the movie was made by real Southern cooks—including teachers, a journalist and a cafeteria manager—recruited in Greenwood, Mississippi.

I hope it does not include the secret ingredient!
I echo ellie. I don't know if I want a slice of the last pie..... The book was a delight.
No pie for me, at least not that pie. Read the book last year, going to see the movie tomorrow night with two of my daughters.
Rosemary,
I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it...look forward to seeing the movie.
Yummy, the pie looks delicious.
