Chocolate Pie on Steroids

I love to cook mostly because I love to eat.  I started adding a little oomph to my chocolate pie:

Take a chocolate pudding mix, the kind you have to cook over the stove.  When you've heated the pudding and declared it done then you add about a cup of dark chocolate chips.  Keep stirring until the chips have melted.  Add a Tablespoon of vanilla in honor of great grandfather Els.  You might take an electric mixer to whip it up good.  Refrigerate until it sets then top with Cool Whip (to keep the calorie count down, dontcha know.)  Actually, you could make this into a simple pudding and skip the pie crust.  The crust adds more calories than the filling usually.
