~ CAUTION -- DECADENCE ALERT !! ~ -
(This is 1 of those times I just 'threw caution to the winds' and put
this one in for y'all...'specially right after 'tax day'. YOU deserve a
'break' somewhere along the line..and this is IT ! Consider this --
when you go out to dinner, you don't stop and ask all the ingredients in
every dish...so it is here -- when all else fails...moderation ...and
'spread out' the good fortune for a while with the rest in the
'fridge....)

Prep Note: ~ If using a 'store bought' crust, skip these ingredients &
prep steps
...HOWEVER...
...making your OWN allows you the LUXURY of going with CHOCOLATE grahams
'stead of the ole' 'standard' ones.
~ Cooking times with substitute ingredients might have to be extended
...but only very slightly...monitor closely towards the end of posted
times.
