Silky, Smooth Frango Mint Pie

My sister introduced me to this pie several years ago.............this pie and I get along just fine............
Here are the ingredients for Frango Mint Pie:

1 cup softened butter
2 cups of icing sugar
4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate
4 eggs
3/4 tsp peppermint extract
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup graham crackers crushed

Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Add melted chocolate to the butter mixture and beat thoroughly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg until well blended. Fold in the peppermint and vanilla.
Line a pan with crumbs. Pour in the filling. Refridgerate for 2 hours.
This is for an 8 inch pie pan.

  2. Visiting from Welcome Wednesday. Looks yummy. Sounds pretty simple to make, too. I wish I would quit finding such yummy recipes when I am trying to lose weight. Whoever the first to combine mint and chocolate is my hero.
