    -----CRUMB CRUST-----
    1/4 c Butter
    1 1/4 c Chocolate Baking Crumbs
    1/3 c Walnuts or Pecans, fine chop
    2 tb Granulated Sugar

    4 oz Semi/Bitter Sweet Chocolate
    12 oz Cream Cheese
    1/2 c Granulated Sugar

    In a 9 inch quiche dish or round glass baking dish,

    and sides of dish. Microwave crust at High for 2
    minutes or until firm. Set aside. Place chocolate in a
    small bowl and microwave at Medium for 3 minutes or
    until melted. Place cream cheese in a microwave safe

    inverted plate in microwave oven. Microwave, uncovered

    the centre. Let stand on countertop until cool, then
    refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight before
