Add 1 1/2 cups of the Cool Whip--stir. Add crushed cookies--stir. Spoon batter into the pie crust. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos over the top if you wish. Melt the chocolate according to package directions--drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the pie. Refrigerate overnight.
