Hershey Bar Pie Recipe

I collect recipes. Some are typical, others are weird, and there are some that I hold on to because they were given to me by my grandmother or mother who were so inspired by the recipe they clipped it or asked for it. Hershey Bar Pie is one of those recipes.  My mother rarely made homemade desserts, but someone gave her this recipe and she was so excited about it.

Hershey Bar Pie made with melted milk chocolate and marshmallows.

So my mother was the source of this recipe, but oddly enough I don't have any recollection of her actually making it. What I do remember is I kept the recipe and then made it a few years later using Hershey Bars with almonds. Since then I've made it multiple times, mostly without the almonds. And I've changed up the chocolate using different types of milk chocolate, dark chocolate and sometimes chips.

Here's the recipe. When I first posted it there weren't a lot of versions online, but now there are are several. I make it with 16 marshmallows, which is a little over 100 grams or the equivalent mini marshmallows. For the chocolate, I'll use 9 oz of Hershey bars or whatever milk or dark chocolate we have. For the cream, I whip 8 oz of heavy cream and fold it in. There are versions of the pie that call for half the amount of cream, so you can use 4 oz of cream if you want a higher ratio of chocolate.

Photos need to be updated, so next time I might try folding in half the cream sweetening the rest and putting it on top.

Hershey Bar Pie With Chocolate Chips

Update: This pie is also great when made with semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips. The pie in the first photo is one of my more recent ones. I used chocolate chips instead of Hershey Bars and halved the recipe to fill a small pie dish.

Servings 8 slices

Ingredients
 

  • 1 whole prepared graham cracker crust
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 16 large large marshmallows or 2 cups small** (100 to 110 grams)
  • 6 bars Hershey Milk Chocolate somewhere around 9 oz or 250 grams)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (228 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Optional Topping

  • 2 cups freshly whipped sweetened cream or whipped topping

Instructions
 

  • In a double boiler or a bowl set over a pot of water, combine the milk and marshmallows. Heat, stirring occasionally and mashing marshmallows, until marshmallows are partially melted. Add Hershey Bars and stir often until everything is melted. Remove from heat and let cool completely (about an hour).
  • In a bowl, whip the cream until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture then put it all in the pie shell.
  • Chill for 4 hours or even better, overnight. If you are using a smallish store-bought graham cracker crust, it may not all fit.

Notes

Quick Notes
*Homemade Graham Crust: Mix together 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press into a greased 9 inch glass pie plate and bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Cool. If you'd like to add freshly sweetened whipped cream, whip 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form, then add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and whip just until peaks are stiff. Stir or beat in the vanilla. Pipe around edges or spread over the top.
You can use dark chocolate

    The candy bar pie I'm looking for has NO cool whip. The crust was almond/graham cracker, and there was an apricot glaze.

    I do this for a choclate cheescake pie

    Melt large hershey bar in microwave until melted.

    Add 8 oz of cream cheese and beat until smooth.

    Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sugar

    stir in 8 oz tub of thawed cool whip

    pour or should I say spoon into chocolate graham cracker crust and put it in the fridge for a few hours till set.

    I like special dark the best but regular milk chocolate bar works great too.

    My grandmother made this pie for years. It is always a favorite and was quickly devoured. This will become a family tradition if you are a chocolate lover. Thank you grandma for introducing it to our family. We miss you.

    I have a recipe that is even easier!

    1. Melt a large Hershey Bar in a double boiler (or on low power in the microwave).
    2. Add a defrosted container of Cool Whip.
    3. Pour the mixture into a baked pie shell and refrigerate.

    It is positively sinful!

    Yum. I made this for the kids this weekend and they all loved it. Interesting how it has all the ingredients for a Smore but it doesn't taste like a smore pie at all. I didn't use chocolate with almonds but I chopped up some almonds and added them. Very good pie! Thanks!

    mmmmm, that looks great. I think I might have to make it with a darker chocolate though. I'm just not so fond of milk chocolate. Trader Joes has some dark chocolate with almonds, I might try that instead!
