Made this to go with our St. Paddy's Day dinner and it was wonderful, but VERY easy, rich and creamy which was perfect for my "sweets loving DGS". I did make a few changes; didn't have mint cookies so used a pre-made choc. cookie crust, added mint extract to the pudding mix and instead of crumpled cookies used semi-sweet choc chips in the pudding mix. Then topped with the left over cool whip as instructed, made a choc ganache from the left over chips and drizzled over the top of the finished pie. It was simple, pretty and a nice ending to our dinner.

My family loved this pie! I did make two changes. Instead of layering part of the cool whip on top - I mixed it in. And instead of melting chocolate to drizzle over the top my 7 yr old son thought it would be cool to smash cookies. So he helped me sprinkle them on top. Very easy to make! Made for the November Aussie/NZ recipe swap.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
