Two kinds of chocolate and a crust made with high-fiber cereal make a delicious dessert, perfect for special times.

Ingredients:

Crust

• 2   cups Fiber One® original bran cereal
• 1/4  cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1   tablespoon corn syrup
• 1   teaspoon vanilla

2. In medium bowl, mix crust ingredients until blended. Press crust mixture evenly and firmly in bottom and up sides of 9-inch glass pie plate.

3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until firm. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

4. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, cook milk and pudding mix over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add chips; stir until chips are melted and smooth. Pour into medium bowl; cover surface of pudding with plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until cold.
