Hello Susan,
Sorry, I had no success with this.

I've misplaced my "Vi's Pies" recipes so I thought I might offer Susan
my recipes that I currently use for Chess Pie.
Timm in Oregon
Old Fashion Chess Pie
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
6 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 unbaked 9 inch deep dish pastry shell
For the Topping:
2 cups sugar, divided
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325F degrees. In a large bowl, cream the butter
and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks and egg.
Add the cornmeal and flour until well blended. Beat in the milk and
vanilla; do not over beat. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell
and bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until the filling is almost set.
Let cool on a wire rack.
For The Topping: Heat 1/2 cup of sugar in a small heavy saucepan
over low heat without stirring until partially melted, about 5 minutes.
Cook and stir with a metal spoon until syrup is completely melted
and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the milk, butter and remaining
sugar (mixture will be lumpy). Cook over medium heat while stirring
until a candy thermometer reads 234F degrees (soft-ball stage).
Remove from the heat; pour into a small bowl without stirring.
Let cool, without stirring, to 190F degrees. Beat on high speed until
the mixture turns light brown and creamy and a candy thermometer
reads 130 to 137F degrees, about 5 minutes. Immediately spread over
the bake pie. Store in the refrigerator.
Chocolate Chess Pie
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 sleeve chocolate graham crackers or use regular graham crackers
1 stick butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
For the Filling:
1 stick butter
1 ounce square unsweetened chocolate or 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
For the Crust: Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. The easiest way
is to place the crackers in a large Ziploc and smash them with a rolling pin.
Add the sugar and melted butter; mix until well combined. Press the crumbs
into a 9 inch pie pan to form a thin crust on the bottom and sides. Blind bake
for 8 minutes; remove from the oven and chill until firm ,about an hour.
Lower the oven temperature to 325F degrees.
For the Filling: Heat the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over medium
heat until melted and smooth. Remove from the burner and add the sugar,
mixing until well combined. Stir in the eggs, vanilla and salt. Pour the
filling into the pie crust and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until the
top is puffed and the center is just set. Cover the edges of the crust with
foil about half-way through baking to keep them from burning.
Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature with freshly whipped cream or
vanilla ice cream.

Way back in the 1970s, Barbara's Bakery (which is still in existence,
more about that later), made a product that was sold in Health Food
Stores, called Barbara's Incredible Fruit and Nut Muffins.
They were quite dense, moist, and a little crumbly - just a little.
I don't remember them well enough to be sure of what I think they
contained, but here is a guess:
Flour, probably part or all whole wheat.
bananas, pureed
apples, pureed
walnuts
sweetener, not a whole lot
They may have contained:
coconut
raisins
dates
oat flakes
I posted a request on chow.com, no one had any suggestions.
I wrote Barbara's Bakery, asking if they still made them,
and if not, either the recipe or ingredient list. They said
they stopped making them a long time ago, but that they
would not give me the recipe, and they didn't give me the
ingredient list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
