This is on page 32 of the Hershey's Homemade cookbook. It is part of the Chocolate Marble Cheesepie dessert. But so versatile and yummy to use elsewhere for other goodies!
Not only will you save $$ by not buying the premade ones, but with only 4 ingredients you can pronounce and spell, it's definitely healthier and so much better tasting!
In medium bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa and 1/4 cup sugar. Blend 6 tablespoons melted butter or margarine. Press mixture firmly on bottom and up sides of a 9" pie plate. Refrigerate about 2 hours before filling.
My version -- If you use store brand graham cracker crumbs (ahem, Kroger!) you may want to check for the slightly larger pieces that didn't get crumbly all the way. I discovered this a little too late, but still tasty! And it's going to be covered by the filling anyways. Keep the 1/4 cup cocoa, but you can get by with a little less sugar - don't fill the 1/4 cup all the way. Also, you can easily knock off at least 1 tablespoon of the butter or margarine, whichever is currently less bad for you. I went ahead and melted the 6 T of butter, but just add enough to moisten and let the crumbs hold their shape.
