Super Easy Gluten Free Pie Crust

This is just like Graham cracker crusts, but using gluten free cookies instead!

My favorite is the Arrowroot cookies by Mi-Del. I've also used "Kinni-Kritters" graham style cookies (pictured) and thought they were good. They definitely have the more familiar "graham" taste.

2/3 to one full bag/box of GF cookies
3/4 stick of butter
1/4 cup sugar
Chocolate (optional)
Pudding mix and cream (or whatever you want in the pie, cheesecake would be delicious!)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place cookies in ziplock baggy and crush with a rolling pin. *use a freezer baggy and let out almost all of the air* don't bother rolling over, smashing is better.
Place butter in glass pie dish and melt in the microwave (this saves a dish!). Add crumbs and sugar. Mix well.
Pat down to form the crust, making sure to push up around the sides so it has an edge.
Bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch it carefully, no one likes a burned crust!
Prepare pudding mix.
If you want chocolate on the crust , just place chocolate chips (or I used Dove chocolates-very yummy) on the crust as soon as you take it out of the oven. Once the chocolate has melted very gently spread it to coat evenly.
Let the crust cool completely before putting the pudding in.
Put the whole thing in the fridge if it needs to set.
