Yield: 12 servings 

Ingredients:
Crust:
2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
1/3 cup margarine or butter
(You can make your own wafer crumbs by combining 1-part sugar, 1-part cocoa, and 2-parts dry bread crumbs in the food processor. Chop very finely. (Make more than you need and store the remainder in the freezer).

Filling:
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tsp instant coffee granules
1 pkg (12-oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
whipped cream
chocolate syrup

Instructions:
Combine chocolate crumbs and 1/3 cup softened butter. Press firmly onto sides and bottom of a greased 11" false-bottom tart pan or 9-inch pie pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter, add brown sugar, beating at medium speed with electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add next four ingredients. Stir melted chocolate in quickly as it "sets-up" again. Spoon filling into prepared crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve the pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle chocolate syrup on each wedge.
