Chocolate Mallow Pie

Chocolate Mallow Pie

1-1/4 cups cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (about 14 cookies)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
2 package (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1-1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Chocolate curls, optional

In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, butter and sugar. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375° for 8--10 minutes or until set; cool completely on a wire rack.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and chocolate syrup until blended. Beat in melted chips. Set aside 1/4 cup of whipped topping. Fold marshmallows and remaining whipped topping into chocolate mixture.

Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Garnish with reserved whipped topping and chocolate curls if desired. Makes 8 servings.
