1 c. sugar
3/4 c. butter (not margarine)
3 sq. unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled (3 oz.)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 (9 inch) baked pastry shell
Unsweetened whipped cream; optional
Chocolate curls; optional

In a small mixer bowl cream sugar and butter about 4 minutes or until fluffy. Stir in cooled chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed of electric mixer after each addition and scraping sides of bowl constantly. Turn into baked pastry shell. Chill several hours or overnight until set. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls, if desired. Cover and chill.

Makes 10 servings.

Cooks Note: Some brands of margarine produce a non-fluffy, sticky filling when used in this recipe. The results were so unsatisfactory that we recommend using only butter.
