This easy and delicious Chocolate Candy Pie sets up in only one hour in the fridge (or just 20 minutes in the freezer), just in time for dessert!
Chocolate Candy is very popular in Brazil, we called it Bombom. There are so many brands that I'm not sure if I know all of them. So last Easter my daughter got a big bag of Sonho de Valsa chocolate candies and even though she likes it very much, she couldn't eat the whole bag. The solution to this problem? Make a Chocolate Candy Pie 🙂
