   • Crush the chocolate wafers until they resemble fine crumbs.
   • Mix the crushed wafers with melted butter until well combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into a 9 or 10-inch pie plate to form the crust. Alternatively, line the pie plate with whole wafers, breaking them in half if needed to fill any gaps.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a saucepan, melt the marshmallows with milk over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined.
   • Once melted, stir in the creme de menthe and creme de cacao until fully incorporated.

3. Whip the Cream:

   • Prepare the Dream Whip according to the package instructions, or whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

4. Combine and Chill:

   • Gently fold the prepared Dream Whip or whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture until evenly distributed.
   • Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

5. Chill and Serve:

   • Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until set.
   • Before serving, decorate the pie by breaking a chocolate wafer in half and rubbing the edges together over the top of the pie to create a sprinkling of chocolate crumbs.

6. Variation for Christmas:

   • For a festive twist perfect for Christmas, substitute the creme de menthe with crushed candy canes melted into the milk. This adds a delightful peppermint flavor that’s sure to evoke holiday cheer!
