Ingredients
Instructions
- Place milk, candy bars, and marshmallows in the top of a double boiler and melt.
- When melted, set out of water and cool completely.
- Fold Cool Whip into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour into the pie crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can use regular Hershey bars instead of the ones with almonds. For a creamier texture, substitute half of the Cool Whip with whipped heavy cream. This pie is reminiscent of the flavors in Golden Grahams S'Mores, making it a delightful treat.
Serving Suggestions
For an elegant presentation, top each slice with additional Cool Whip and a sprinkle of crushed almonds or chocolate shavings. This pie pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fresh fruit salad on the side. For a fun twist, serve it alongside Lemon Or Lime Whip Pie for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the pie's texture, avoid freezing it, as the whipped topping may separate upon thawing. Simply slice and serve directly from the fridge when you're ready to enjoy more of this delicious pie.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for this pie?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different flavors of chocolate bars, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary, so adjust the amount of marshmallows accordingly to balance the flavors.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, simply use a gluten-free graham cracker pie crust. Many brands offer gluten-free options that will work perfectly in this recipe. Be sure to check the labels of the chocolate bars and marshmallows as well to ensure they are gluten-free.
Is it necessary to chill the pie for 3 hours?
Chilling the pie for at least 3 hours is crucial for allowing the filling to set properly, making it easier to slice and serve. If you're in a hurry, you can chill it for a shorter time, but the texture may not be as firm, resulting in a messier presentation.
