Hershey Bar Pie

 HERSHEY BAR PIE

    Here's a super short post about the pie I made for Thanksgiving. It was just me and I'd decided I wanted to cook all the food, just for me! At the last minute I also decided I wanted to make pie. Hershey Bar Pie is so easy. It's just three ingredients, plus anything you decide you might want to top it with . Unfortunately, I did not write down the weight/amount of the chocolate, but I used three packages of mini Hershey bars. There is 8 mini bars in each package. They were $1.50 each at my local Kroger grocery store. I bought whipped topping for under a $1 and a graham cracker pie crust for about $2. I added chocolate chips I had at home, so this cost me less than $5!!! 

    What you do, is make sure your Cool-Whip or the generic brand whipped topping like I used, is thawed and softened. If your whipped topping is too cool, when you mix it with the chocolate, it might make little "chippy" type bits.  This happened to me before and it wasn't bad. So as far as mistakes go, it's okay if that happens. It is not the end of the World. Unwrap the chocolate bars and melt them in a saucepan on low.  You can break them up into smaller pieces first, if you like. Take the saucepan off the stove. Use a large spoon or spatula to scoop the whipped topping into the chocolate.  I used a metal whisk to incorporate the topping with the chocolate. You can use a wooden spoon, but the whisk helps make sure it is completely combined. Spoon the chocolate mixture into your pie crust and sprinkle any toppings you like on top, before chilling the pie in the refrigerator. 

    I cut fairly big slices and I got 6 pieces from mine.  You can do smaller pieces, because this pie is pretty rich. I think it would be great with a nice hot, cup of coffee or tea. 

Ingredients:

Hershey Bars - About 3 or 4 large or 3 packages of 8 mini bars
