Candy Crunch Pudding Pie

Comments (0) | 15 October, 2008


This was the hit of the weekend! My dad's favorite candy is Heath Bar, so he was in heaven. The funniest part was that my mom kept calling it "Turtle Pudding Pie" because it was in truth almost like a turtle pie! It was absolutely delicious, and super easy to make! To make it more turtle-pie-like, just use caramel topping on top and maybe some chopped pecans, and voila! You have a turtle pie instead! :)

Ingredients:
2 cups cold milk
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
2 milk chocolate English toffee candy bars (1.4 oz. each), chopped, divided
1 OREO Pie Crust (6 oz.) (I made mine from scratch; see below for recipe)
1 square BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted (I omitted; could use chocolate syrup instead, or caramel topping)

Directions:
Beat milk and dry pudding mixes with whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Gently stir in half of the whipped topping and all but 3 Tbsp. of the candy.

Spoon into crust.

Top with remaining whipped topping and candy. Drizzle with chocolate. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Blondies for everyone!

Comments (3) | 16 October, 2007

I was trying to come up with a good cookie for my little sister. She was heading back to college, and had a nine hour drive. I wanted something that was yummy, but wouldn't melt in the back seat (that is, assuming they made it back to campus ::wink::wink::). A fellow nestie suggested I check out her blog for ideas. In there, I found a recipe that I knew would be perfect, because I could tailor it to my sister's specific candy liking!

M&M Blondies

8 TBS butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour
1/2 cup Mini M&Ms


Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8x8 pan with foil and lightly spray with PAM. In a large microwave safe mixing bowl melt the butter. Allow to cool for 5 mintues. Mix the brown sugar with the melted butter and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and then vanilla. Add salt, stir in flour. Mix in M&Ms.

Pour into prepared pan and use a greased spatula to evenly spread mixture in pan and level the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set in the middle. (I baked for 22 minutes)Cool on rack before cutting.

You can use other candies or nuts, or almost anything in your Blondies. See the following excerpt from bakingblonde's blog for ideas.

Add in ideas:
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate or butterscotch chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds
1/2 cup M&M candies
1/2 chopped Reese's PB cups
1/4 cup toffee pieces
1/2 tsp mint extract in addition to, or in the place of vanilla extract
