You can save the expense of the chocolate chips and still produce a dessert everyone will love. Just use a chocolate cookie crumb crust instead of the graham cracker crust for a chocolatey taste at a lower price.

This recipe is flexible enough to allow you to use a little more or less than the specified amount of cream cheese and still get great results. If you have three or four 3-ounce packages, use them all. If you have two 8-ounce packages, use all of 1 and half of the other.
