BIZZY BAKES

I don't make corn in any form enough.  Corn is a favorite in our house and when I think of it, I make corn fritters or a delicious corn casserole.  The best is fresh corn, straight from the garden, hardly cooked at all.  The natural sweetness of the corn shines in the fresh picked vegetable. When we had our garden, corn was our favorite crop.  When it was in season, it was nightly a  treat, for us.  I would have the water boiling before it was picked and shucked.  What a delight. Now, it has become an afterthought after the more healthy vegetables, such as broccoli and spinach.  This recipe inspired me to get out that corn and enjoy.

When school starts, I bake for my class and then I can again open the door to chocolate. They don't leave a crumb for me to be concerned about. This pie is one of those that have layers of delicious ingredients. First a Mock Oreo pie crust. Then a cream cheese/whipped topping layer, then a bit of peanut butter and chocolate chips followed by the CHOCOLATE layer and some crumbs for the top. Fortunately, I have grandchildren coming for the weekend. I also have cookies and brownies.  Grandma's   prerogative ...... I use a cream filled cookie like  Oreos  but a different brand. For the sake of ease, I will call it Oreo, for this recipe. Oreo Pie Crust   2 1/2 cups Oreo or substitute cream filled cookie crumbs (Pulse in food processor) 3 tablespo...
