2 ounces ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate
1 ounce hershey's milk chocolate
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened
8 ounces neufchatel cheese or 8 ounces light cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar

1
Chunk chocolates and put together in a small microwaveable bowl; heat on high power in thirty second increments until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred together, about 1 1/2 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese; cream in the sugar, vanilla and milk until all is smooth and well incorporated.
3
Stir the melted chocolate into the cheese mixture until well blended.
4
Fold in the thawed whipped topping until thoroughly mixed, being careful not to beat out the fluffiness of the topping.
5
Scoop the filling into the prepared crust, mounding and smoothing to fit it all inches.
6
Stand the ears in the center, at a little angle if desired; sprinkle some of the M & M's around to give it some color.
7
Chill the pie at least one hour before serving and refrigerate any leftovers.
8
Can be made ahead and frozen up to a couple of months.

*The better the chocolate, the better the result! Use bittersweet or unsweetened here, anything else is too sweet.
