I’m always on the lookout for fun new recipe ideas.  With an emphasis on easy, of course.  My husband and his father are both very picky when it comes to food, but I know that if it is sweet, there will be no issues.  Put a bowl of squash in front of them and I will totally get “the look”.  Dessert?  Why sure! It will be a definite winner.  So when I saw that Walmart is now carrying M&M’s® Crispy candy, it occurred to me that it just might make a nice colorful dessert.  Hence the creation of my No-bake Fudge Bottom Pie with M&M’s®!  

Yep, I said “No-bake”!  Totally my kind of recipe!  I can assemble this colorful creation in just a few minutes, pop it in the fridge and go back to my craft room for the rest of the day!  This easy to make pie has a chocolate crust and a layer of creamy fudge on the bottom, topped with a french vanilla layer and yummy M&M’s® Crispy candy.

The guys will think you slaved in the kitchen all day.  A total win-win situation.  Just put a bit of flour on your nose before serving dinner and nobody will ever know the difference.  We will just keep it between you and me, right?

So want to know how to make it?

For this recipe, I used 4 smaller bags of M&M’s® Crispy candies, but you can also buy them in the larger bags in the baking aisle at Walmart.  Note that a single serving of the M&M’s® Crispy candies only has 180 calories!  Awesomeness!  They actually taste like little malted milk balls, and make a nice crunchy topping for this fudge bottom pie!

Fudge Bottom Pie with  M&M’s® Crispy candies

8 inch chocolate pie shell
4 small bags  M&M’s® Crispy candies
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 (3 1/4 oz.) package instant French vanilla pudding
1- 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup whipped cream

Create a double boiler with two pans (one smaller than the other).  Fill the bottom pan with water and bring it to a boil.  Set the small pan inside the water filled pan.  Add the chocolate chips and evaporated milk.

Stir and allow the chocolate chips to melt.  Once the chocolate is melted completely, remove from the heat and stir in the corn syrup.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bottom of the chocolate pie shell and spread evenly.

In separate bowl, combine the French vanilla pudding mix and milk.  Whisk until it becomes thick, and then whisk in the whipped cream.  Pour the mixture over top of the chocolate layer.  Refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Just before serving, add a layer of M&M’s® Crispy candies over the top of the pie.  Yumm!!  A colorful dessert that I’m betting nobody will pass up!  And the great thing about it?  It only takes about 10 minutes to make!

Be sure to check the candy aisle at your local Walmart for M&M’s® Crispy candies!  You can also find the individual packages near the registers.
