Expert Tips

To evenly press the crumb mixture into the pie plate, use the bottom of a dry measuring cup.

Don't own a double boiler? Place a small saucepan in a larger skillet or saucepan filled with 1 to 2 inches of simmering water.

This was like eating a candy bar. It was hard and you had to pretty much bite it not use a fork. It tasted like chocolate. The kids loved it. They thought it was a new kind of candy!

This was a waste of chocolate! Came out tasting the eggs but not the chocolate...and it was absolutely solid. You had to chip off the bites in order to eat it. I tossed out the recipe.
