Voice of Experience:
The lady who shared this recipe said that Hershey's chocolate milk powder is better than Nestlé Quik. I tried the store brand the last time I made the pie because I couldn't find any Hershey's. Quik would surely be better than that was. If I knew five people who wanted to go in on it, I would buy the Hershey's.
