OK, this is one of those deep dark family secrets. It's just not the holidays without them.

 

Get two Deep dish frozen pie shells (I prefer the Walmart brand but that one brand name one will work)

 

Cook empty shells per directions. I poke holes in the dough before cooking to prevent raised spots. You can also use pie stones instead if you would like.

 

The cook a box a chocolate pudding per directions on box. Divide between the two cooked shells.

 

While they are cooling make the topping. Use one box of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar and a tub of whipped topping. I whip the cream cheese vigorously while adding sugar. The gently fold in the whipped topping.

 

Dust with chocolate dust or cut up chocolate chips and then chill or at least eight hours before serving.
