Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar. The smell of the chocolate crust baking is simply divine! I press the mixture evenly into the bottom of my 9×13 inch baking dish and bake it for about 10 minutes at 350°F until it’s set. Let it cool while I prepare the next layers. The delightful aroma of the crust wafts through my kitchen, making me even more excited to dig into this dessert!
