Chocolate Candy Bar Pie Recipe
This Chocolate Candy Bar Pie is super easy and super decadent … oh so decadent! And it couldn’t be easier to make.
Chocolate Candy Bar Pie
A couple of years back a friend brought this delicious pie over for a gathering. It was one dadgum good pie. After one bite, I inquired about its goodness. Come to find out, it was a very naughty pie. Naughty indeed. I tucked the recipe away, far in the back of my mind for later blackmail needs.
Recently, as I was looking through one of my aunt’s cookbooks, I stumbled across this same pie recipe. I couldn’t believe the recipe had been in my possession all this time. Probably a good thing for my hiney’s sake.
Like I said, it’s naughty, not just because of the ingredients, which we’ll get to in a moment, but because it’s just way too easy. It’s like cheating.
No. It is cheating.
It’s totally cheating.
I’m a cheater. So there.
This is naughty, cheatin’ pie making, y’all.
Let’s get to it.
You’ll need only four things: a graham cracker pie shell (homemade or store bought will do), slivered almonds (optional), chocolate candy bars (like Hershey’s, with or w/o almonds), and whipped topping. The original recipe calls for Hershey’s chocolate bars with almonds, but I goofed and bought the regular Hershey’s chocolate bar without almonds. It was delicious anyway. Use either.
Begin by melting the chocolate bars over a double boiler. I don’t own a double boiler, so I use a mixing bowl over a sauce pan. It works like a charm. Stir the chocolate until smooth. Once melted, if using the chocolate bars without almonds, add the chopped almonds if you’re using almonds. Mix well. Next, add the whipped topping.
Gently mix in whipped topping until smooth, then pour everything into the prepared pie shell. I was instructionally challenged when I made this and forgot to add slivered almonds to the top of the pie. So, if you’d like, add slivered almonds to the top of the pie at this point. Or not.
Cover and refrigerate for about four or five hours, until firm. If needed, you can speed up the firming process just a bit by putting it in the freezer for an hour, then refrigerate the pie for another two hours.
That’s it. That’s all. It’s as easy as pie. I had to say it. Can’t help it. I’m a cheese ball.
Anyway, here’s some advice, if you have some persuading to do, have this on hand.
If you are trying to make up with your spouse, have this on hand.
If you are applying for a that job you’ve been pining for, have this on hand.
It freezes well, so just plan to have this on hand for a backup. And for that matter, go ahead and make two while you’re at it.

I’m tickled that you’re here! Like you, I wear many hats, and live to tell about it. This space is a place for sharing food, home, garden, travel and lifestyle tidbits, with some fun always thrown in for good measure.
Love. Love. Love this one. I’m salivating just thinking about it!
Oh goodness. I NEED this.
Hmmm… I NEED this pie! Yep, that’s what I said… NEED! It is an absolute necessity. Thanks for the suggestion. Better yet, do you have any leftover? I’ll be right over.
That cake looks so perfectly decadent!
Yum Amy! I have a similar recipe where you use a Symphony bar. I will have to try yours with the Hershey bars with almonds!!!!!
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! That pie looks just like something I would love {and so would my hips!}.
Okay, another yum just cause!

I may have to make this for some friends, b/c there is no way I can have this in my house…I don’t even love chocolate too much, but something about it mixed with whipped topping and graham cracker crust just does something to me. Your photo is drool worthy. 🙂
Aw man. This is like… pure chocolate awesomeness. Amazing. 😀 (It would be awesome to melt like all these candy bars together and making it all into one pie. With an Oreo crust. :D)
Wei-Wei
A friend of mine made a pie like this years ago and I never got the recipe. Thanks for this! By the way, in my opinion it’s not cheating unless you buy it already made at the store. 😉
Seriously, I’m on my way over. I so need a bite of this! Those pictures are incredible. Excuse me as I wipe the drool off my keyboard!
I think I’ve just gained weight by looking at the beautiful pictures. Yummy!
Thanks for sharing. Miss YOU!
I hope I don’t make this bookmarked recipe because I ‘ll only eat this for day and next may be. And then I’ll look at the mirror and cry!
SCRUMPTIOUS!
I have a bunch of heavy cream and graham crackers that would love to be a part of this pie! I’m making this very soon.
This is great with Nestle Crunch Bars and an oreo crust-my family loves this pie! One warning-don’t get the melted chocolate too hot or it “deflates” the cool whip. My daughter discovered this the hard way!
Looks good. Any time their is a Hersey bar around you can count me in.
Holy Moly! This is TOO easy! My mind is reeling with the possibilities of oreo crusts and bittersweet chocolate instead of Hershey’s…oh it looks so good! Thanks!
I made this and put crushed peanuts, butterscotch drip (made from scratch), and thick Hersey’s choc. ice cream topping. I also used bittersweet choc. chips with 3 tablespoons of cream mixed in during the melting process. Yum! Yum! Yum!

Did you use chips instead of candy? Have all ingredients in my house except candy bars!
YUM…this will be a hit at my house!!
Do you know of a way to get drool off your keyboard? 🙂
This is way beyond naughty…all the way to sinful! I would love to make this but then I’d want to sit down and eat about half of it. It looks absolutely delicious!
This looks like trouble…the kind of trouble I like to get into! Plus, I love the super short grocery list!
that is one SEXY pie!
Oh man. This looks incredible. I am on the job hunt…who knows, I may have to resort to using pie as evidence of my skills…
That looks downright amazing!! Cheat away just bring it on over, it is lunch time you know 🙂
That look like a bite of pure heaven. I think my fanny is growing just looking at the pictures.
Nice to meet you this past weekend. Good luck (to you and me) applying all that we learned!
Have a great day!

Looks too good, and easy enough I can remember it!
Just what the doctor ordered I do believe.
I’m making this for my husband this weekend. Awesome!
We make a very similar pie but a little easier. We call it yogurt pie and it’s a graham cracker crust filled with whipped topping mixed with two small containers of strawberry yogurt.
My family would go crazy over this pie. I love the simplicity of it and how it only uses a few ingredients. Need to put on my “to bake” list. I’m Aggie’s (Aggie’s Kitchen) sister-in-law, by the way. Your pictures are awesome. I’ll be back for more browsing.
That looks delicious and really simple…the best combination! Thanks for sharing.
Definitely naughty…. but oh so nice.
i could make a back-up, sure, but it’d never make it to the freezer. 🙂
Bring on the chocolate. Great pie recipe!
I make the filling (without the nuts) and chill it and spoon it into balls and roll in sweetened ground chocolate, or nuts, or sprinks, or coconut and serve as truffles.
Oh that looks so good! And easy too! Yummy!

Your blog is really amazing! I thoroughly enjoy how you break things down into sections and your photography is simply gorgeous!
Made this today – it was WONDERFUL !!! Will def. make this again – thank you for sharing 🙂
Ohhhh DROOL!
Oooooh, Hershey bar pie! My grandma’s recipe for Hershey bar pie is slightly different, oh I love it so!
The recipe I use uses whipped heavy cream and melted marshmallows instead of whipped frosting. No matter which method you use, it’ll always, always get rave reviews!!!
Yummmm!!!!

This looks tasty! Chocolate and Cool Whip…together. Yum!
Beautiful pie! I’m ready to dive right in :).
Will this work with sugar free hershey bars as well ?
this looks amazing… gonna try make it soon!
i just wanted to ask what can i replace the cool whip with, since they don’t sell it where i live… what is it made of? any idea?
“Ok, put your hands into the air and back away from the pie; slowly, slowly.” For those of us addicted to chocolate, we expect to hear these words every time we make one of these yummy pies. It’s almost as good as my mother’s Class II Felony home made banana ice cream…LOL!
Hi!
Here in South Africa we do not have Cool Whip. Can you lease explain to me exactly what it is? Cream and what else? I see it in many recipes on the different blogs, but I never know what to use instead. This pie looks SO dreamy, and super easy, I really NEED to try it!
I really enjoyed browsing around your blog!
Hello Mariette!
Cool Whip is basically fake whipped cream. I would substitute whipped cream. It should be even better!
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to make it!
I found this recipe by doing a search for “easy pie recipe”. I didn’t have a double boiler, but used a bowl over a pot and was impressed with how easily this all came together, in just a matter of minutes. However, I was disappointed in how bland it was. I served this pie 4 days ago, on Christmas, and there is still nearly half the pie left in my fridge. It wasn’t bad, just not worth the effort to dirty a fork and plate. I didn’t find it decadent or rich. I’, 5 months pregnant and typically use any excuse in the world to eat yummy junk, but this just didn’t do it for me.

I make this and put in the mini graham cracker pie crusts, garnish with a little extra whip cream, a raspberry and a 1/2 of a piece of hershey bar. Makes for an easy “fancy” dessert.
