oven for 20 mins. Allow to cool.
Cream butter and sugar thoroughly. Blend in vanilla and chocolate and
mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating with mixer on high speed
for at least 5 mins after each addition. Pour mixture into a pie
shell and chill in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The
