    This is my husband's favorite birthday dessert. I wanted to find a different recipe that used less processed ingredients. The only thing I changed was to use green Creme de Menthe and omit the food coloring. Very enjoyable pie light and not as super sweet as other recipes I've tried. My husband now has a - Read more ...

    Our guests loved this. Slightly boozy which my kids pointed out right away. I'm knocking one point off however as the filling has a "whipped" trait which is not really to my liking. That said will make again. PS I bought the Oreo pie crust and its dark chocolate-ness was a winner.

    Last week I was out to dinner with my father in law who saw grasshopper pie on the menu and fell in love!! Apparently he used to eat in when he was younger and hadn't seen it in years! Once he tasted it he said it wasn't quite like he remembered so that put me - Read more ...

    Wowie! This is a dandy. I took so many liberties with the recipe that it should have flopped. It turned out fantastic. Make this one. You won't be sorry. You could cut down on the hooch if you wanted but why would you?

    This pie tastes excellent! Just like you would find in a top-noche gourmet restaurant!
