Step-by-step
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the pudding using the pudding pie directions (add 1½ cups milk to the mix).
- Add the thawed cool whip to the same bowl.
- In a small bowl, melt 1 Hershey's bar in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth (approximately 35 seconds total).
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly across the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
- Pour the pudding mixture into the crust.
- Freeze this portion of the pie for about 1-2 hours.
- Spread the marshmallow creme over the top.
- Shave a few chocolate squares onto the top of the pie.
- Place the pie back in the freezer. It's good slightly soft, but it's best to leave it in the freezer overnight.
