Ingredients:

1/2 cup real butter (no substitutions)

1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Melt butter and brown sugar together until it begins to boil. Set it side to cool for 10-15 minutes, then add 1 egg and the vanilla, stir well. Combine flour and baking powder until blended then add to the batter and stir until well blended.

Spray a 9″ pie plate with non-stick coating. Pile 2/3 cup of batter into pie plate and set mixture into a freezer for about 10-12 minutes until it is firm.

To the remaining batter add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips, 1 egg and cocoa powder. Stir until blended.

* To test , insert a toothpick into center of pie. It should come out with moist crumbs on it when done.
