Cook Time12 minutes
Total Time9 hours 7 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups walnuts coarsely ground (about 6 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 milk chocolate bars 1.5 ounce each, chopped
  • 1.5 cups mini marshmallows or about 15 large marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Cool Whip
  • 3/4 cup chopped chocolate toffee candy bars

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix the coarsely ground walnuts, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  • Press the walnut mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.
  • Bake the crust for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden; remove and let cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped milk chocolate bars, mini marshmallows, and whole milk; cook and stir until the chocolate and marshmallows are melted and smooth.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool about 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  • Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream gently until combined, then scrape the filling into the cooled baked crust and smooth the top.
  • Spread the Cool Whip over the filling and sprinkle the chopped chocolate-toffee candy bars evenly on top.
  • Freeze the pie for about 8 hours or until firm.
  • When ready to serve, let the pie sit at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
