I want to make a crust out of chocolate animal cracker crumbs, the traditional add butter way (think I'll skip the sugar). Usually when making this kind of crust I bake it for a short amount of time. I'm filling it with a no-bake filling, and it will
It will hold together better if you bake it, but it's not absolutely necessary to bake it.

HOUSE CALLS
Gerald W. Deas, M.D.
When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn and the weather would begin to change to a cool and brisk autumn air, I recall that this was a signal that my mom would begin to can many fruits and vegetables. The canning process was done in the most sterile way to prevent any bacterial or yeast invasion. These morsels of food were stored in glass containers and not the plastic ones in use today. I can't remember her ever using anything but natural spices to enhance the flavors.
It seems like this type of canning process has long been forgotten in the average household and has been substituted with plastic jars and preservatives, namely, sulfites such as, sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite and potassium metabisulfite. I know these are strange names to you. That is why you must read labels carefully on food products for there are a lots of foods that you eat each day that possibly contain these sulfite laden chemicals.
I have been in a period of pie paralysis. I find pie crusts intimidating, really. That is why so many of my pies involve graham cracker crusts. But I am so in love with the idea of pie that I really want to be great at it. I want to spin around my kitchen with a zippy little apron on, with flour in my hair, pulling a beautiful double crusted affair out of the oven at just the precise moment. I have been pretty content with the fantasy.
I’m quite excited because I have found a pie crust that has made me want to re-start my serious pie work. It is a crust recipe that was settled on after a great deal of delicious research by Seattle culinary notable, Jon Rowley and his former wife, Kate McDermott. Though I have been following, and chatting with Jon on Twitter for ages, I did not realize until a few days ago that he had been married to Kate McDermott, whom I also began to follow recently. Jon is someone I end up quoting every time the words “salmon” or “oysters” leave my mouth. They worked together for several years on a pie recipe that yielded this crust. I have been talking to Jon about the Quintessential American Apple Pie that has been the subject of his attention for several years. In a few weeks, I hope to show you that pie. He has spent a great deal of time describing it to me. And, I will try to re-create it, or at least a close approximation of it (since I do not live in the heirloom apple capital of the universe). The story of the pie is fascinating. For now, though, you can start playing with the crust preparation for that estimable pie, with this fantastic chocolate pie recipe.
