In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely liquified.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Add Oreos and melted butter to a blender, and blend on high until Oreos are completely crushed.
24 Oreos, crushed
Transfer Oreo and butter mixture from the blender into a 9-inch pie dish, and use clean hands to press the crust mixture into the pie dish, pinching it up the sides.
Bake the crust for 8 minutes, remove from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool while you make your chocolate mint pie filling.
Chocolate Mint Pie Filling
Bring your oven temperature down to 325°F.
Heat your cream over a double boiler until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat, and pour into a heat-safe bowl with chocolate chips. Mix until chocolate chips are melted. (Don't worry if it's not perfectly smooth, the chocolate chips will continue to melt in the oven!)
½ cup dark chocolate chips, 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
Put your chocolate and cream mixture in the freezer for about 10 minutes to cool down. Once your chocolate/cream mixture is cool, use a hand mixer to whip it until it starts to bubble.
With a hand mixer on low, add your sugar and cocoa powder and continue to mix until your mixture thickens.
½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup dark cocoa powder
Fold in peppermint extract and egg with a spatula until the pie filling mixture is smooth.
1 teaspoon peppermint extract, 1 large egg
Pour your filling into your Oreo pie crust and bake for 40 minutes. Allow to cool and set for about 30 minutes before diving in.

Notes
Using a blender is the easiest way to crush your Oreos and mix them with your melted butter. If you don't want to use a blender, you can also put the Oreos inside a bag and use your rolling pin to crush them!
If you don't have a double-boiler, use a heat-safe glass or stainless steel bowl inside of a larger pot of boiling water.
