 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2  cup           unsalted butter
    3/4  cup           sugar
  2      ounces        unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
  1      teaspoon      vanilla
  2                    eggs
                       Shell
  1 1/2  cups          crushed chocolate wafer cookies
                       (oreo cookies with cream centers removed w
  6      tablespoons   butter, melted

In mixer bowl, cream butter, gradually add sugar, creaming till 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 F 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 till you fill it.)
