French Silk Chocolate Pie2

Directions

In mixer bowl, cream butter, gradually add sugar, creaming until light.

Blend in chocolate and vanilla.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating 3 minutes after each addition, on medium speed of electric mixer.

Turn into pie shell.

Chill several hours.

Pie shell: Use oreo cookies with cream centers scraped off (or chocolate wafer cookies, but I like oreos the best.)

Combine cups crushed cookie crumbs with melted butter.

Press into 8-inch or 9-inch pie plate (I use a glass one).

Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 10 minutes and then let cool completely before filling (I often make the shell one day and the filling the next - just cover shell with plastic wrap after it has cooled to keep it fresh until you fill it.)
