1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:
Bake pie shell according to directions on the box. Be sure to let the pie crust overlap the edge of the pie plate slightly as it will shrink some when cooking.

Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Stir in milk gradually and chocolate if using the squares. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Stir at least half of the hot mixture gradually into egg yolks. Blend into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chocolate if using premelted. Pour into pie shell and press plastic wrap onto filling. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream or Coolwhip!
