Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust

Some pie recipes call for a chocolate wafer or graham cracker crust.  This type of crust is so easy to make and much better than one bought from a store...plus you can use that pretty pie plate that's been hiding in your cabinet! ♥

 

Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust

1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs

6 tbsp. butter, melted

2 tbsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press into an ungreased pie plate.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cool.

This recipe makes enough crust for a deep dish pie plate like the Fiestaware pie plates that I use.

Baking Tip for Easily Removing a Piece of Crumb-Crust Pie:  Just before serving, rub the outside of the filled pie plate with a warm, damp towel.  This softens the butter in the crust, making it less likely to stick to the pie plate.  To prepare the towel, rinse it in very hot water, then wring it well.
