Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST:

Heat oven to 350°F. Stir together 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs (about 30 wafers), ¼ cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa, ¼ cup powdered sugar and ¼ cup (½ stick) melted butter or margarine in medium bowl. Press mixture firmly onto bottom and ½-inch up side of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 8 minutes; cool slightly.

CHOCOLATE LEAVES:

Thoroughly wash and dry several non-toxic leaves. Place ½ cup HERSHEY’S MINI CHIPS Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 30 to 45 seconds or until smooth when stirred. With small, soft-bristled pastry brush, brush melted chocolate on backs of leaves. (Avoid getting chocolate on leaf front; removal may be difficult when chocolate hardens.) Place on wax paper-covered cookie sheet; refrigerate until very firm. Beginning at stem, carefully pull green leaves from chocolate leaves; refrigerate until ready to use.
