Will give it stars once I actually eat it. Very easy to make but for folks who aren't frequent pie makers here are 2 pieces of input: cover your crust after it initially turns a bit golden or it will burn; and 1/2c butter is 1 stick. On the latter, I'm glad I closely read the stick 'cause I thought it was 2 sticks (8oz). Mine was quite crisp...but I could taste how it could be cookie-like if not overdone. The Pumpkin puree said not to prebake the crust and to put it in at 425 for 15min then 350 for 40-50 min. Good overall but didn't come out how I'd hoped.

this is a great crust. i used white chocolate pudding on top and sprinkled baby M&Ms on top. The crust taste like shortbread/vanilla waffer mix. My 6 year old loved it. The sides slid down sightly so i will build them up higher next time. The crust didnt get soggy even after 3 days, it held together great and didnt get crumbly. Ill try a pumkin pie next time. Thanks so much for the recipe :)
