Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pie

This is the moment you have all been waiting for.... yes, I am unleashing the recipe to my famous chocolate chip cookie dough pie. For a long time I was keeping the recipe a secret, but I was feeling generous and you all deserve this one :)

Ingredients:

1- 18 oz. tube refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
2- 8 oz. packages cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
5- 1.4 oz. Heath bars (or any chocolate covered toffee candy)

1. Allow cream cheese and cookie dough to soften at room temperature; allow to sit on counter for about 20 minutes

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. Press cookie dough into an ungreased 9 inch pie plate using the back of a spoon and/or your thumb.

4. Crumble Heath bars by breaking them with your fingers, or by lightly pulsing in a food processor, or by smacking it with a rolling pin while still inside the individual wrapper. Keep three Heath bars separate from the other two. You can also buy already crumbled Heath bars from the baking isle but they are more expensive.

5. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and 3 crumbled Heath bars. Pour over top of cookie dough and spread evenly.

6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

7. Sprinkle top with remaining two Heath bars.

8. DO NOT attempt to eat this before it is thoroughly chilled; you will be disappointed if you do. It is to die for when it is chilled. Keep refrigerated for at least 4 hours. I always make this the night before a party or in the early morning.

Enjoy! Serve with whipped cream; my husband can't eat this without it.
