  6. In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  8. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the chocolate-covered rice cereal over the top of the filling, pressing it lightly into the surface.
  10. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
