This pie is delicious! As a child my Momma used to buy Banquet frozen pies on occasion... this tastes just like it, only better! I did make a few minor changes. I used a 9 inch graham cracker crust, only partially thawed the whipped topping, and I used a 16 ounce tub of whipped topping, reserving 8 ounces for the top of the pie. My dh went crazy over this pie, when he finished his first piece, he told me to be sure and save the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us!

Total chocolate heaven! I used French Vanilla Cool Whip- hard to find, but it adds a certain richness. Next time I will make two pies- they keep well in the freezer for a last-minute dessert!
