Chocolate Chip Pie

My grandma cliped this recipe out of her local paper back in the early 60's and has been delighting children (and adults) with it ever since. It is especially liked by two of my brothers. It's kind of like eating cookies and cream ice cream, but gelatin style. It has a creamy flavor, and the flakes of chocolate give it just the right amount of texture.

In a large pot, melt the following slowly (give yourself 20-30 minutes on med-low heat) and set aside to cool completely:
1 cup milk
1, 1 pound bag marshmallows
1 packet gelatinWhile your marshmallow mixture is cooling, prepare the following:

Make a graham cracker crust for a 9x13" pan.
3 cups grams crushed ( I like to leave mine a little chunky)
5-6 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted

Grate 2-4 (I always use 4) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, set aside.
Beat together 4 egg whites and 1 pint heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

When marshmallow mixture is cool (otherwise your chocolate will melt) mix it with the egg whites and chocolate. Spoon over gram crust and refrigerate until set up. It takes at least 4 hours.

Cut brownie style and serve chilled!
