- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using homemade crust, roll it out and fit it into a pie pan; bake until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler; set aside to cool.
