Mud Pie!

Mississippi (Mizzzzeessssessessessuuzzzz - Spelling, in other words) Mud Pie...


Basically I used to buy the damn things by the bucket load in Sainsbury's, and now that I've moved (Or been moved as I would usually state) over to here the only place I've had mississippi mud pie is in Java's down here in Galway, but it is NOT the same...

Sainsbury's sold a "Easy-To-Bake" version, basically, that consisted of a biscuit type chocolate YUM Factor 100% gorgeous base, with the second topping being creamy type chocolate fudge, third being... Gooey all out chocolate goodness...
Yet the Pie in Java's is just MUSH!!!

So - Basically (And not that I'll be able to do it myself) I would like to know the recipe or something... If anyone knows anywhere ELSE I could get the mizzusuzupi mud pie, I'd be greatful.

Thanks for your time!

I humbly thank you, and will tell you of how successful my attempt is once I can get my PC at home working so that I can store / remember the recipe.
