NOTES : VARIATIONS:

Use Italian "Nutella" chocolate spread to coat crust before spooning filling on.  

Also use a pastry bag filled with Nutella to decorate the pie top.

To decorate with a chocolate swirl, begin at the center and work a gradual swirl to the outer edge of the crust.  Then with a squire or round toothpick make spoke-type designs in the chocolate by alternating lines at the center the pull outward and the next line begin at the edge of crust pulling the tool inward to the center.
