1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Filling
9 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup amaretto
1/4 cup light corn syrup

For crust: Preheat oven to 350. Butter 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Finely grind cookies in processor. Add melted butter; blend until moist crumbs form. Press crumbs onto bottom and up sides of pie dish. Bake until crust is set, about 12 minutes. Cool on rack.
