Chocolate, coffee and rum are dolled up with sugar, eggs, flour and butter, and the result is a creamy, rich pie that goes from bowl, to pie shell, to the oven in moments. Then simply bake, chill and enjoy.

- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup walnut halves

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth.
