Hershey Bar Pie

A year or two ago, Nathan announced that he needed Hershey Bar Pie for his Thanksgiving to be complete. He said his mom makes it every year. So she sent him the recipe, and it is always his responsibility to make this particular dessert. It is really sweet and rich. Actually, I mentioned last night that it's pretty much smores in a pan, and Nathan replied that, in that case, it ought to be my favorite food. :) It is pretty darn good.

Hershey Bar Pie

Crust:
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup melted butter or margarine

Filling:
32 large marshmallows, or 3 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup milk
24 oz. milk chocolate chips (or buy the bars and chop them)
8 cups Cool Whip, divided

To prepare the crust, mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, then press into a 9x13" pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the marshmallows, milk, and chocolate over medium heat. Stir constantly to blend and to make sure the chocolate doesn't scorch. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Stir four cups Cool Whip into the chocolate mixture. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust. Top with the remaining Cool Whip. Chill 8 hours or more.

Enjoy!
