- Whipped Topping: Use a piping bag to pipe Cool Whip or stabilized whipped cream to decorate the top of this no bake Hershey pie recipe instead of the marshmallows.

Pro Tips
- When you are heating up the heavy cream make sure to not allow it to boil fully. And make sure o stir or it will burn.
- Another thing is allowing your pie to set up in the fridge, as it will thicken a bit and make the slicing and holding shape better.
- If you are using real whipped cream on top of this chocolate dessert, make sure that you only apply it to the slices that you planning to eat right away.
- If you don’t want to chop up the milk chocolate bars by hand, you can use a cheese grater, food processor, or a storage bag and a rolling pin to break them up.
- Add some chocolate shavings to this delicious pie for even more flare.
- I used the XL Hershey Bars. If you are using smaller size bars, make sure you measure out the candy bars so that you get the same weight.
- I used the lid for the pie crust on this no bake pie. If yours cracks or you are using a homemade pie crust, wrap your pie in plastic wrap for adding it to the fridge.
- Use a sharp knife to cut this pie so you get even slices.
Storage
Fridge – You will want to cover and refrigerate your pie for up to 5 days. Just cover with foil or place in an airtight container.
Freezer – You may also freeze leftover pie. Just cover tightly and freeze for 1-3 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight.
FAQs
Do you have questions about this Hershey bar pie recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions about this no bake chocolate pie recipe.
Hershey’s chocolate has a distinct flavor. I find this pie does taste best with Hershey chocolate but you could swap it out with another variety of quality chocolate.
Of course, you can place cupcake liners in a cupcake tin. Then press in some Oreo crust and then add the chocolate filling. These would work great.
Reach for a dark chocolate candy bar instead of milk chocolate to richen up the flavor of the pie. Just use the same amount of chocolate.
