Chocolate Crust
1 1/2 c. chocolate cookie crumbs (I used chocolate graham crackers from Albertson's)
1/3 c. melted butter
3 Tb. sugar (if you use the graham crackers, do not add sugar; they have sugar on the outside)
Combine ingredients together. Press mixture onto bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes; cool.
This is a very rich pie with only a little sweetness. Great for dark chocolate lovers.
