How to Make Chocolate Crumb Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 or 10-inch deep-dish pie pan. Make sure to create an even layer.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let cool completely before adding your favorite pie filling.
