Original recipe from All Recipes.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ c crushed cookies (about 24 vanilla wafers, 24 Oreos, 24 gingersnaps, 36 animal crackers,  or 10 whole grahams)
• 1/4 c melted butter

Directions:

1. Crush cookies and mix with butter. Press into pie plate for pudding pie or cupcake tin for mini cheesecakes.
2. Opt: preheat oven to 350 and bake crust for 10 min. This isn't necessary, but helps make the crust a little more solid.

Alternative:

1. To make a chocolate cookie crust using plain graham crackers, follow above directions using these ingredients:

• 9 whole graham crackers
• 2 T cocoa powder
• 1/4 c sugar
• 1/4 c melted butter
