GRASSHOPPER PIE
It's the luckiest happy hour dessert you'll ever make. With a crunchy chocolate cookie crust and a minty mousse filling, this is a treat any mint-chocolate lover will want to eat. Inspired by the classic after-dinner drink, this Grasshopper Pie recipe features the crème de menthe and creme de cacao of a Grasshopper Cocktail, because it wouldn't be a recipe for Grasshopper Pie without the color to match. Top this crème de menthe pie with chocolate shavings and be prepared for oohs and ahhs!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir crust ingredients until well mixed. Reserve 2 tablespoons crumbs for garnish. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and side of 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on cooling rack 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, heat milk and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, just until marshmallows are melted. Refrigerate about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. (If mixture becomes too thick, place saucepan in bowl of warm water and stir mixture until proper consistency.) Gradually stir in crème de menthe and crème de cacao.
- In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on low speed until mixture begins to thicken. Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold marshmallow mixture into whipped cream. Fold in food color.
- Spread filling in cooled baked crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs and grated chocolate. Refrigerate about 4 hours or until set. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:
- Heat marshmallows and milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring almost constantly, until marshmallows just melt.
- Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 1/2 hour.
- Stir liqueurs and several drops food coloring into marshmallow mixture.
- Beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff, and fold marshmallow mixture into whipped cream.
- Fill cooked crepes, roll into cylinders, and chill until firm.

- Refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.

- One or two crepes is plenty for almost anyone.
- Recipe can be cut in half.
- Chocolate Crepes:.
- In mixing bowl, beat eggs.
- Add flour sugar and cocoa alternately with buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
- Refrigerate batter 1 hour before cooking.
- To cook, spray a nonstick (preferably) crepe pan with nonstick spray, and heat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances when it hits the pan.
- Ladle about 2-3 Tbsp of batter into pan, and swirl until it completely coats the bottom of the pan.
- If you have any excess batter in the pan, just dump it back into the bowl.
- Cook just until the edges of the crepe begin to look dry and a little crisp.
- Turn over, and cook the other side for about 20-30 seconds longer.
- Turn out onto a towel to cool, and repeat for the next crepe.
- It should not be necessary to separate the crepes with wax paper to prevent sticking, but you may, if desired.
- Recipe makes about 1 dozen crepes, but I usually double it and store the extra crepes in the freezer.
- Just wrap the crepes in a couple paper towels, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, and freezer for up to 6 months.

GRASSHOPPER
The Grasshopper served at Dante, a New York City cocktail bar, is a fairly straightforward affair, calling on the crème de menthe, crème de cacao and cream demanded by the drink's classic formula. To this, Dante adds an extra dose of both mint and chocolate flavor. The mint comes in the form of Branca Menta, the minty cousin to the Italian amaro Fernet Branca. Meanwhile, a slight shower of shaved chocolate on the drink's surface crowns the cocktail. Be sure the crème de menthe brand you end up using is of the green variety, and not the clear. The color of the cocktail, said Linden Pride, an owner of Dante, is "part of its success story; it catches people's attention."
