Three Musketeers Chocolate Pudding

Find it On Pinterest

Cook's Note: A friend of my family is very ill and wanted chocolate pudding to cheer them up.  I didn't just want to make chocolate pudding to take, so I searched and I found this recipe on Pinterest after searching for a dessert made with Chocolate Pudding. I have modified it slightly, but it was a hit! My friend and their family raved about it! ENJOY! 

What You Will Need: 

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup sugar
6 Tbsp butter, melted
5 oz neufchâtel cream cheese, softened to room temperature
⅔ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla
8 oz Cool Whip (I used French Vanilla flavored), thawed and divided
About 3 Musketeer mini candies, chopped
1 small pkg instant chocolate pudding
2 cups skim milk
½ cup mini marshmallows
more 3 Musketeers candies sliced for garnish

Directions: 

Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Firmly press into a 8X8 pan. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Using your stand mixer, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar, until smooth. Add vanilla. 

Fold in ½ cup Cool Whip and chopped 3 Musketeer candies. 

In another bowl, combine chocolate pudding and milk. Let sit until thickened. Fold in marshmallows. 

Once crust is cool, gently spread cream cheese layer on top. This will be tricky because the graham cracker crumbs tend to loosen. Carefully spread pudding on top of cream cheese layer. Top pudding with remaining Cool Whip. Garnish with sliced candy bars.

Refrigerate until you are ready to serve (at least 30 minutes).
