• 6 ounces block-style cream cheese, room temperature

• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 25 ounces frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed and divided (you’ll need three 8-ounce tubs: 1 for the cream cheese layer, 1 for the chocolate layer, and about 4 ounces from a third tub for optional garnish)

• 4.65 ounces Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces (about three 1.55-ounce bars), plus an additional bar for garnish if desired

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

2. Add 1 tub (8 ounces) of thawed whipped topping to the mixture and fold it in gently until fully combined.

3. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared chocolate pie crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Layer

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the Hershey’s milk chocolate bars in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

2. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before folding in the remaining 8-ounce tub of whipped topping. Stir until combined.

3. Spread this chocolate mixture over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 3: Chill the Pie

1. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow it to set.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Before serving, garnish the pie with the remaining whipped topping (about 4 ounces), and sprinkle with additional broken Hershey’s chocolate bars for a nice chocolatey touch.

2. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
