Back in 2020, I made a lot of Chocolate Pies using this basic recipe. All of them turned out fantastic. When I saw some Pay Day Bars at a grocery store on vacation, I thought about making one of these rich, chocolate pies loaded with Pay Day Bars. Yes, they turned out fantastic.
I ended up making this pie for an Empty Nester’s potluck at our church. It turned out so well. Anyone who enjoys the combination of chocolate and peanuts will love this easy 5-ingredient dessert! If you want one of the easiest desserts to make over the holidays, this Pay Day Chocolate Pie can’t be beat. Enjoy.
Pay Day Chocolate Pie is ultra swoon-worthy!
This heavenly Chocolate Pie is rich, decadent, chocolaty and peanutty!
This easy 5-ingredient recipe is the perfect dessert for company.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Combine half-and-half with a large 6-ounce package of instant chocolate pudding.
Whisk for two minutes until pudding thickens.
Add Cool Whip or other non-dairy whipped topping.
Whisk ingredients again until well-blended.
Chop Pay Day Bars into small pieces.
Add chopped Pay Day Bar pieces to the chocolate pudding mixture.
Stir ingredients to combine.
Remove the plastic covering from the chocolate pie crust.
Spoon chocolate pudding mixture into the chocolate crust.
Sprinkle with reserved chopped Pay Day Bars, and place halved Pay Day Bars around the outside of the pie. Freeze pie until 30 minutes before serving.
(The plastic lid will not fit on the pie now because it will be too full. I recommend freezing the pie before covering it with any kind of plastic wrap so the wrap doesn’t adhere to the pie filling.)
Pay Day Chocolate Pie will rock your world. No kidding.
The caramel nougat from the Pay Day Bars is scrumptious.
Pay Day Chocolate Pie is a spectacular dessert for company. It’s so easy to whip up too.
