Candy Bar Pie

This pie is rich, creamy, and delicious. I've taken it to pot luck dinners and served to family and friends. It gets rave reviews. It is very quick and easy. You can make it in about 10 minutes. It takes longer to cut up the candy bars than all the rest.

Makes 1 pie

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) Chocolate Pie Crust or Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/4 cups cold milk
2 (4 serving size) packages chocolate or vanilla flavor instant pudding & pie filling
(I've also used white chocolate and cheesecake flavors.)
1 (8 ounce) container frozen non dairy whipped topping, thawed, divided (such as
Cool Whip)
4 (1.5 ounce) bars chocolate covered wafer candy bars, cut into 1/4 inch pieces, divided. I use Kit Kats. I think Twix would be good also.

Directions

1. Beat milk, pudding mixes and ½ of the whipped topping in medium bowl with wire whisk 1 minute. (Mixture will be thick.)
2. Reserve 1/4 cup of the candy bars. Stir remaining candy into pudding mixture. Spoon mixture into crust, spreading evenly.
3. Spread remaining whipped topping over pudding layer in crust. Sprinkle top with remaining candy. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Drizzled chocolate: Place some chocolate in a plastic sandwich bag and melt in microwave, checking at 20 second intervals. When melted, cut off a small tip of one corner, and squeeze to drizzle over pie. (I use chocolate chips.)
