Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove wrappers from the Hershey's Kisses chocolates.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped chocolate pieces and 2 tablespoons of the whipping cream.
  3. Microwave at HIGH (100%) for 1 minute, or until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth when stirred.
  4. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the bottom of the cooled baked pie crust.
  5. Refrigerate the pie crust with the chocolate layer for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  6. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the vanilla pudding mix and the peanut butter.
  7. Using a whisk, gradually blend in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  8. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and comes to a full boil; then remove from heat.
  9. Allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming.
  10. Pour the peanut butter pudding evenly over the set chocolate layer in the pie crust.
  11. Refrigerate the pie for several hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
  12. In a small mixer bowl, beat the remaining whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  13. Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the top of the chilled pie.
  14. Garnish with additional Hershey's Kisses chocolates, if desired.

Note

Ensure you use cook-and-serve pudding mix, not instant pudding, for the correct texture and thickness.

Refrigerate leftover pie covered to maintain freshness.

For a richer chocolate layer, you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of Kisses, but Kisses melt very smoothly with cream.

Make sure the pie crust is completely cooled before adding the chocolate layer to prevent melting the crust or creating a soggy base.
