So I can feel better while the ‘women-folk’ are slaving away, I usually make a Hershey Bar Pie. It’s delicious and incredibly simple. I don’t have my actual recipe in front of me-it’s in my Mom’s recipe card file. But this is pretty close. It’s so good I want to bequeath it to all my Forum Family!!! My recipe only uses the one tub of Cool Whip. When my sister-in-law makes it-she uses actual whipping cream which she whips.

 

***

 

No-Bake Hershey's Chocolate Bar Pie

Ingredients

1 (9-inch) chocolate crumb pie crust (such as Oreo pie crust) or plain graham pie crust

1 1/2 (8 oz.) containers Cool Whip whipped topping (12 oz. total)*

5 full-size (1.45 oz.) Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars

 

Directions

Break chocolate bars into pieces and place in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. (Or, place chocolate bar pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM power for one minute or until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred.) Remove from heat and cool for two minutes.

Fold melted chocolate into the Cool Whip until well combined. Spoon into crust. Cover and refrigerate over night, or until set.

* The original recipe calls for 1 (8 oz.) container of Cool Whip, however I use 1 1/2 containers as I prefer a 'fuller' pie. If you'd like to use just 1 container of Cool Whip, use just 4 Hershey's bars. Your pie will taste great, it just won't be as full in the pie crust.

I’ve experimented with this a bit by adding some flavored instant coffee to it. If you do this, you need to dissolve the coffee in a small bit of hot water beforehand, so it’s dissolved and not gritty.

 

My next experiment I want to try is adding mint. That may mean I need to use another candy bar other than Hershey’s.

A drop of peppermint extract would be fine in this recipe. Use with caution, though. That stuff is POTENT and can ruin something like this pretty easily.

 

That’s a great idea, @deej. I had looked last year for a ‘mint chocolate’ flavored coffee. I was surprised that I couldn’t find any. I was wondering whether I might need to try using York Peppermint Patties. But peppermint extract sounds like just what I need.

I just found my recipe. It’s slightly different, but not much.

 

In mine you take 6 Hershey Bars and melt over low heat with a 1/2 cup of milk. After that you add a tub of Cool Whip, and then pour it into an Oreo or Graham Cracker Crust and freeze -not refrigerate-for several hours or overnight.

Can you substitute real whipped cream?

Well, since we're posting chocolate porn, here's one that always gets me going

 

Organic Hazelnut and Currant Dark Chocolate Bar, 60% Cacao

A cracking pair. We always strive for perfect balance. The bittersweet chocolate will hit you first, followed by the roasted crunch of hazelnut and then the sweet/sour currants that bring everything together in mouth-watering harmony

Happy Thanksgiving to the G-Man and all of our other special Forum members. Even though I am officially a "Newbie", I feel as if you are already friends as I have been participating behind the scenes and finally thought it was time to join in the fun. I truly like this forum and I would not consider myself as a social media person. Cheers!
