MsRobyn, I’m not making a pie, so buying a pie crust would be a waste of time - I’d have to crush it, too. I’m making a mousse cake, which is made in a large springform pan and has several layers of these crushed cookies, much like an ice cream cake. ---

I use oreos for my cheesecake crust. Oreos, butter, and hazelnuts all into the food processor. press into a springform pan, bake 10 minutes, fill with cheesecake… or not 😉 ---

I misunderstood; I thought you were making mousse pie. You still want the Nabisco Famous Chocolate wafers. Robin ---

I think I know what you are making. We have a recipe that’s similar, but we roll it so it looks like a jelly roll - and yep, it uses the Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. ---

Just got the email back from my my mother, ans shes says they’re “Christie Chocolate Wafers” Christie is a division of Nabisco Brands, at least here in Canada, so we have a consensus. I’ve also found a cake recipe that uses Christie wafers, and it looks like they’re the ones I (and I believe the rest of us) have in mind: [http://www.foodtv.ca/feature/ontheburner/2003\_07\_02/article3.asp](http://www.foodtv.ca/feature/ontheburner/2003_07_02/article3.asp) ---

That looks like it. I mistakenly said we rolled ours, but it’s more like a loaf. It’s damn good too. ---

don’t know about stores and their generic brands out your way, but up here in Virginia one of the larger chains (can’t remember if it was Giant or Safeway) made a home-label chocolate-flavored animal cracker-type cookie. my mom had been trying to find a cookie source for making chocolate cookie crumbs and happened to see the box when she was visiting. she was dumbfounded by such a simple solution. YMMV, of course. but any plain chocolate-flavored sugar cookie would probably work. ---

I bet it was Hydrox cookies, NO? [http://www.spacefem.com/hydrox/](http://www.spacefem.com/hydrox/) ---

Nope. No filling in the ones I need. I hate Hydrox, by the way - they’re sub-par Oreo ripoffs of DOOM. Apparently they are the Nabisco Famous Chocolate, which will make the search easier. I will also look into chocolate animal crackers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-they-still-make-these-chocolate-cookies/213647.md?page=1)
