"Easy as pie"

I have my mother to thank for this easy/pretty/yummy recipe -

three aspects which make a dish appealing to me.

Candy Bar Pie:

~ 1 - 8 pack snack sized candy bar package

(We usually throw in an extra 1 or 2 little bars or 1 regular sized bar.)

~ 1 - 8 oz package of cream cheese

~ 1 - 8 oz container of whipped topping

~ Chocolate pie crust (I usually buy a prepared one.)



Some may have dignified ways of crushing candy pieces,
but at our house which is teeming with energetic boys,
we smash them with hammers. :-)
It's a great way to expend energy and promote good hammer use!

Just remember to wash the end of your hammer in case it has:
1. Brought down innocent trees in the woods behind your house.
2. Driven nails and misc objects into unsuspecting trees.
3. Participated in the demise of numerous forest bugs!

Ewwww!

That probably doesn't happen at your home. . .

Back to the recipe - - -



Beat the softened cream cheese -
later adding the thawed whipped topping.
Empty all but two candy bar wrappers into the mixture
and beat again.



Scoop all contents into pie shell (leaving a few spoonfuls to sample!)
and garnish with leftover candy bar pieces.
I prefer to give it a good 5-6 hours in the fridge before serving.

A Castle Haven favorite -

especially since kids are able to make this recipe!

 It'll snag you favorable compliments anywhere you take the dish;

Just be prepared to bring an empty pie plate home!

Enjoy! :-)
