"I was surprised how wonderful this crust was!! I too left out the cocoa, and made this crust for a pumpkin pie.

I brought one pie made with this crust to a gathering, and everyone loved the crust, because it was different. Word of caution: I used this on a bigger pie plate (deep dish), and the dough was spread a little thin, so ended up a little on the hard and crunchy side (not my favorite). I'd add an extra few graham crackers and a bit more yogurt if making a larger pie. Crust should be fairly thick for ultimate taste."

I will definitely be using this recipe from now on instead of buying pie crusts. A note to those who complained of the stickyness.

I dip a spoon in water and then press the crust into the pan and have no problems with stickyness."
