Delicious! I like just a hint of mint so I used half the amount. So simple.

I used the chocolate fudge pudding the first time and also bought too large a pack of Andes mints... so the end result was WAAAYYY too sweet... but now I know what to do differently next time! :D

Try using "chocolate fudge" pudding instead of plain chocolate, that's a little darker, but it will still probably lighten up because of the cool whip. You could try using chocolate cool whip, then it would stay really dark.

I made this pie and my family just loved it! My "chocolate pudding" part was not as dark as in the picture. I thought maybe I had made a mistake about the pudding mix size, but I didn't. How is the chocolate in the picture so dark? I want to make this again soon for gatherings, and I would really like to know. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

we have found that using a half a bag (divided) of the andes baking chips from the baking aisle work just as well, and you do not spend as much time with the chopping :)

my brother and mom cannot eat chocolate, so we have found red and white andes mint chips in the baking aisle, and make a variation using half a bag of those baking chips (divided), either white chocolate pudding or vanilla pudding, and regular graham cracker crust

I served this for a family gathering and one pie just wasn't enough. Easter weekend I'm to make two pies. Easy and delicious!
