FAQs

1. Can I use chocolate chips instead of bars?

If too hot, it will deflate the whipped topping.

Yes — substitute about 2 cups mini marshmallows.

5. Can I use a graham cracker crust?

6. How do I know when it’s set?

8. Is this pie very sweet?
It’s moderately sweet — use dark chocolate for less sweetness.

9. Can I make it ahead?
