Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1.5 cups chocolate candy bars, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping (8 ounces) into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and milk until the pudding thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the remaining thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped chocolate candy bars evenly over the top of the dessert.
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving to allow the layers to set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
