Notes

  • For best results, chill the pie for a full 2 hours to ensure it sets well.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
  • Use regular chocolate pudding if instant is not available, but preparation time may increase.
  • The gummy worms and Nerds candies add a fun texture and appearance but can be omitted for a more classic pie.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
