Rich gooey dark chocolate brownie pie. It's so fudge-a-licious I'm not even sure it's legal. Keep a glass of milk handy; safety first.

Add cold water and mix just enough to form a dough ball.
Roll out on heavily floured surface, place in pie plate, fold under edges and crimp; set aside.
Brownie Filling & Pie Assembly
Melt baking chocolate and butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Check and stir every 20 seconds until melted and smooth (about 1 to 2 minutes depending on your microwave).
Add sugar into chocolate mixture, and then thoroughly mix in eggs one at a time.
In a separate bowl stir flour and cocoa powder together and then stir into chocolate mixture, and add the vanilla and salt.
Pour batter into the pie crust. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
When checking the pie the toothpick should have some goo attached to it, not dripping, but a little wet chocolate goo.As the pie cools it will crack; best served warm.
