LOVE IT! Quick, easy and DELICIOUS! This one's a keeper! I used milk chocolate chips instead of dark; just a family preference.

I love this recipe and so does everyone else! I like to use a store bought graham cracker crust. I tried doubling up on the chocolate layer once and it's just too much. This time i'm going to attempt to use milk chocolate instead of the dark and see if it turns out the same.
