Prepare the Pie Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Make the Chocolate Filling
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
