Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1.5 cups assorted candy bars, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Gently fold half of the whipped topping into the chopped candy bars.
Layer the candy bar mixture on top of the pudding layer.
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top layer of candy bar mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped candy bars on top for garnish. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Slice into squares and serve cold. Enjoy!
