Delicious! Only thing I might do differently next time would be to increase the recipe by 1/4 or 1/3. The crumbs were a little big and I was lazy about getting it spread evenly over the pie plate and had a few thin spots. Made for a Turtle Cheesecake Pie. YUM!

Great easy pie crust. I used with a no-bake chocolate cheesecake.

Thank you! This recipe worked out great for my DD#2's bday ice cream pie. I made it in a 9x13 (as you can see in the pic). I doubled the recipe.
