I have made this pie a few times, if I'm pressed for time. I use instant pudding for the filling and Cool Whip for the topping, but GUMMI WORMS??? I don't think so. I have found that a "cooked" chocolate pudding, using evaporated milk instead of regular milk, will result in a much richer and better tasting pie.

I have been making this recipe for several years. My family prefers pastry crust. Sometimes I will mix 1/2 of prepared pudding with 1/2 of whipped cream and make in 2 layers, one dark and one lighter. Just a little fancier and goes a little farther.

This is SO much better if you use Royal chocolate pie filling and use the kind you cook rather than instant. Try it - you'll be amazed at the difference. I have made this for years and my mother before me.

My Dad has made this for my family for as long as I can remember. It's absolutely delish! We use reduced fat Cool-Whip and low-fat Jello pudding and it still tastes great! You can garnish it with virtually anything sweet and it'll be wonderful!

i customized this recipe a little bit. i put chocolate chips instead of gummi worms. i also had to use lactaid because i'm lactose intolerant. i used 2 cups of that. i also sprinkled it with some chocolate shavings. the one picture on there is mine if you would like to see how it came out. the taste was wonderful!

Very easy. I made a homemade graham cracker crust to go with it. I didn't use the whipped topping or gummi worms. It is a simple easy weeknight dessert.

Super easy. I used two boxes and 2 1/4 c. milk as another user suggested. After it was mixed, I saw on the pudding box that for the "traditional pudding pie" version you should use two boxes and 2-3/4 c. milk. I think I'll increase the milk next time. This time around I'm not sure if all my pudding dissolved. I tasted the spatula after I was done and it was gritty... :(

This was simple, fast, and cured our chocolate craving. I had some graham crackers on hand, so I made my own crust. I used 2 (1.34 ounce) boxes of instant chocolate pudding and 2 1/4 cups of milk. This made for a thicker, richer "pie" like filling. It yielded enough to fill the whole pie crust. After chilling, I topped it with a layer of whip topping and garnished with chocolate shavings. So simple, but so good.

This is one of the easiest, quickest desserts that pleases everyone. (Especially my Dad!) I mix this up for him, using different puddings - including combo's of flavors. No garnish necessary! I also leave off the whipped topping, so people can add their own. *Lately, I've been using the reduced fat crusts and Sugar free puddings and no one has even noticed!!*

Such an easy recipe. I use Sugar Free Instant Pudding and put a thin layer of banana slices ontop of pudding layer. Let it set then spread with cool whip and then drizzle with chocolate syrup. MMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Me and my boys did not like this at all they are 11, and 12. The best part was the crust however I'm giving it 2 stars because my partner liked it. But than again she likes most things chocolate.

This recipie was great! I made it for my little sister's birthday party, and the children ate all ten pies. I also put chopped walnuts on top of the whipped topping. I also made some with vanilla, and put chocolate chips on the whipped topping instead of chopped walnuts.
