Mud Pie With Vanilla Wafer & Pecan Crust image

I use a food processor to put together the vanilla wafer/pecan crust -- the highlight of this pie! I will make this one again and again, it is so easy and delicious. (Cook time is refrigeration time.) This is a slight adaptation of a recipe from Kraft Food & Family magazine.
