And the winner is Black Bottom Pie!
Here is my first ever attempt to make this treat using the next cookbook I have to review.
Attempts to find chocolate curls -- fail.
Attempts to follow vague directions about making them -- fail.
Used chocolate jimmies instead.
Layers are perfectly matched but I think I did an OK job here. The top layer of whipped cream, again vague directions, not as good as just using Cool Whip I think. The middle layer of custard is too much rum in my opinion but I put in what the directions said. The chocolate layer was great. The crust was plain but pretty good -- plain directions didn't ask for any fancy work on the pie edges so I didn't do any.
Over all fairly decent pie but not a very good set of instructions. I'll talk more about when I do the full book review.

pegasuslegend, the pie seemed to have turned out well though a bit too much rum I think compared to chocolate but then I'm biased, aren't I?
