Chocolate Surprise Pie

This is a pie that I created when I worked at a country Cafe and Bar in Iowa. I really like it because it is fast and easy to make. Big hit with the locals and the farmers!

Ingredients:

• 1 Pillsbury pie crust
• 2 large pkg. Instant Chocolate Pudding mix
• 1/4-1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 cup Hersey's chocolate chips
• 2 large cartons Cool Whip

Directions:

This recipe calls for only the bottom crust. Bake as directed on box for a single pie crust. Cool completely before filling.

Next empty both boxes of chocolate pudding mix into a large bowl. and 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk into mix. Stir to mix. Add one carton of Cool Whip to mix. Whip until smooth. Use 1/4 of mix on bottom of pie crust.

Now layer with one cup chocolate chips. Cover with 1/4 pudding mix.

Now layer with one cup chopped nuts. Cover with 1/4 pudding mix.

Now layer with one cup mini marshmallows. Cover with last 1/4 pudding mix.

Use entire second carton of Cool Whip on top. Refrigerate until serving time.

Happy eating. You'll find that your family and friends will request this all the time.
